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.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Out of this collection of twenty-two interviews spanning two decades rises the distinctive voice of ¿the princess of black poetry.¿ Nikki Giovanni entered the literary world at the height of the Black Arts Movement and quickly achieved not simple fame but stardom, a phenomenon almost unprecedented for a poet. Her first two volumes of poetry, Black Feeling, Black Talks and Black Judgement, gave expression to the thoughts and feelings of a generation of young African Americans and established Giovanni, in the minds of many, as a ¿revolutionary,¿ even militant, poet. The image was not altogether accurate, yet it became the gauge by which her later work was judged.In these conversations the reader can follow the evolution of Giovanni¿s distinctive voice and the sensibility of the poet¿s mind. She chooses her words carefully, while giving an impression of spontaneity and even of glibness.
