For more than fifty years, Nikki Giovanni's poetry has dazzled and
inspired readers. When she first emerged from the Black Arts
Movement in the late 1960s, she immediately became one of the most
celebrated and controversial poets of the era. Considered a living
legend, this is the first new Selected since the late nineties, and
offers readers a chance to be introduced to and to celebrate her
incredible lifetime's work. Arranged chronologically, Giovanni's
poetry speaks from and to the Black experience, with Black love,
Black struggle and Black joy at the centre. The selection charts a
full half-century of American life, touching on mothers and
motherhood, great loves, death, dreams and revolution, showing
Giovanni at her essential, profound best.
