The Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni - (Hardcover)

Nikki Giovanni's poetry collection is a must-read for anyone looking for powerful, truthful, and deeply personal poems that reflect on the experiences of an African American woman, lover, mother, teacher, and poet.

With 150 mind-speaking, truth-telling poems arranged chronologically, this compilation showcases Giovanni's remarkable career and the changes she has endured over time.

From the revolutionary "The Great Pax Whitie" and "Poem for Aretha" to the sublime "Ego Tripping" and the tender "My House," these poems are both angry yet affirming, sensual yet powerful.

This book is a testament to Giovanni's commanding voice in American politics and poetry, and it will leave readers with a deeper understanding of the nation's past and present through the eyes of one of its most compassionate and outspoken observers.
