The poetry of Nikki Giovanni has spurred movements, turned hearts and informed generations. Her latest venture, "A Good Cry", shares with the reader a powerful inward exploration and a rumination on her life and the people who have shaped her. Her unique and insightful poetry testifies to her own evolving awareness and experiences: from child to young woman, from naive college freshman to seasoned civil rights activist, from daughter to mother. Influenced by the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power Movement of the period, her early work provides a strong, militant African-American perspective, which led her to be dubbed the "Poet of the Black Revolution. Nikki Giovanni gained initial fame in the late 1960s as one of the foremost authors of the Black Arts Movement. Please join Busboys and Poets Books for an evening with poet Nikki Giovanni!
