Finally here is the first compilation of Nikki Giovanni's poetry. It is the testimony of a life's work from one of the commanding voices to grace America's political and poetic landscape at the end of the twentieth century. From the revolutionary " The Great Pax Whitie" and " Poem for Aretha" to the sublime " Ego Tripping" and the tender " My House " these 150 mind - speaking truth - telling poems are at once powerful yet sensual angry yet affirming.
