When her poems first emerged during the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s, Nikki Giovanni immediately took her place among the most celebrated, controversial, & influential poets of the era. Now, more than 60 years later, Giovanni still stands as one of the most commanding, luminous voices to grace America's political & poetic landscape.The first of its kind, this omnibus collection covers Nikki Giovanni's complete work of poetry from three decades, 1968?1998. "The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni" presents Giovanni's first 7 volumes of poetry: "Black Feeling Black Talk", "Black Judgment", "Re: Creation", "My House", "The Women & the Men", "Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day", & "Those Who Ride the Night Winds". Arranged chronologically w/ a biographical time-line & introduction, a new afterword from the author, title & first-line indexes & extensive notes to the poems, this collection is the testimony of a life's work--from one of America's most beloved daughters & powerful poets. Known for their iconic revolutionary phrases, "Black Feeling Black Talk" (1968), "Black Judgment" (1968), and "Re: Creation" (1970) are heralded as being among the most important volumes of contemporary poetry. "My House" (1972) marks a new dimension in tone & philosophy--it signifies a new self-confidence & maturity as Giovanni artfully connects the private & the public, the personal & the political. In "The Women & the Men" (1975), Giovanni displays her compassion for the people, things, & places she has encountered--she reveres the ordinary & is in search of the extraordinary. "Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day" (1978) is one of the most poignant & introspective. These poems chronicle the drastic change that took place during the 1970s--in both the consciousness of the nation & in the soul of the poet--when the dreams of the Civil Rights era seemed to have evaporated. "Those Who Ride the Night Winds" (1983) is devoted to "the day trippers & midnight cowboys," the ones who have devoted their lives to pushing the limits of the human condition & shattering the constraints of the status quo. Each volume reflects the changes Giovanni has endured as a Black woman, lover, mother, teacher, & poet. A timeless classic, "The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni" is the evocation of a nation's past & present--intensely personal & fiercely political--from one of our most compassionate, vibrant observers. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: NIKKI GIOVANNI, poet, activist, mother, & professor, is a 7-time NAACP Image Award winner & the first recipient of the Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award, & holds the Langston Hughes Medal for Outstanding Poetry, among many other honors. The author of 28 books & a Grammy nominee for The Nikki Giovanni Poetry Collection, she is the University Distinguished Professor of English at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $14.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
