Paint Me Like I Am: Teen Poems from Writerscorps
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $16.95

Customer Review:

I never felt bored while reading this book, I felt like I could relate to almost every poem that was going on. Every statement I interpreted it a different way but it all related somehow. I thought the author did a really good job at this poem, and the lay out of it.
I would recommend this... more info

The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni: 1968-1998 (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:

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... more info

Customer Review:

I can appreciate the softer side of Nikki Giovanni with this collection. It was an enjoyable read, one that I can read over and over again. Many of the poems are funny and sensuous. This book definitely kept me reading to the very end.

Ego-Tripping and Other Poems for Young People
from Lawrence Hill Books
Price: $8.76

Customer Review:

Race separates the message of the poetry, and I don't like that. I have seen that often with Ms. Giovanni's work. I don't like to read something and feel like I am being pulled into a debate of slavery and hostility. I think that Ms Giovnanni is a very talented poet, and very accomplishes scholar,... more info

from William Morrow
Price: $12.71

Customer Review:

Writer Carolyn Heilbrun recommended Nikki Giovanni to me and others at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2002. I read Giovanni's poetry yesterday and was carried away.

The Genie in the Jar
from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:

I have an enormous respect for the singer Nina Simone. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that were Ms. Simone living today, she would probably eschew the joys of placing her songs in a picture book format. That doesn't mean, however, that she can't still inspire others to create original picture... more info

Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day
from Harper Perennial

Customer Review:

Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day is an intimate introspective work by Nikki Giovanni. While many of her collections prior to this one focused on more political issues, many of the poems in this collection are personal more focused on the personal struggles of a woman in the 1970's. Though these poems... more info
