Welcome to Litsy!

I just cut the crap out of my finger so I am only grabbing a few of my larger #poetry books for this selection. Poetry used to to a favorite but I stopped reading it somewhere along the way. I have been slowly drifting back towards it which I am grateful for. #aprilbookshowers

I have a quite a few #signed books but this one is probably my favorite. I don't read as much poetry as I used to but I have deeply loved Nikki Giovanni since I was in high school. I was positively tongue tied when I met her and don't think I managed to say anything intelligible but I have cherished this ever since.

My poetry professor several years ago introduced me to Nikki Giovanni and I became enamored with here. I'm looking forward to reading this.

This is a review of "The Nikki Giovanni Poetry Collection" audio cd. This collection is read by Nikki herself, which makes is an incredible piece of performance art. Her poems are beloved for good reason. They are musical, full of love, anger, righteous calls for justice and empathy. Giovanni's voice is the perfect instrument for these verses. This CD includes poems from many of her books. Poetry on audio is a rare treat--don't miss this one!
