Book Reviews of The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni: 1968-1998 (P.S.)
Book Review: A beautiful collection from a hugely significant poet.
Summary: 5 Stars
While reading through this wonderfully assembled collection of poetry, it is fascinating to encounter the wonderful historical context that appears throughout the works, constantly placing the reader in the "here and now" of when the poem was written. Because of this Giovanni has become a controversial figure but to simply focus on her earlier "angry work" is to oversimplify her career and have a knee jerk reaction to the pieces which is WHAT IS INTENDED. Nikki said it herself that she didn't want white people examining her work and this is why, they cannot get past the threat that such anger possesses to see the root of the problem. Until this happens that idiotic one star reviews that have appeared on here will continue to do so. Open your minds people and examine your hearts to fully explore these works of genius.
