The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni

tiff

I am a little biased about some of the poetry in this volume. As a teenage "poet" I was introduced to Nikki's work, being black, being female, it was almost important for me, with all those traits to read her as a writer. I liked "My House" and another one whose name escapes me (it's been 16 years). And all of those poems are included in this volume, but since the poems from the books I just mentioned were given to me by my Aunt, the Black Revolutionary (wouldn't know it by looking at her but she was in the 70's) and I was 15 when they were passed down, I'm sort of less than objective when reading her other ones, but I've always liked Nikki's style.
