I fell in love with Nikki Giovanni as a teenager when this poem "Balances" made me cry in a creative writing class (I'd never heard of her & imagined her at first as an Italian man)
And her interviews / speeches — she was just relentlessly a living spiky THINKING honest brilliant feeling human being. Perfect antidote / supplement to American public discourse these days.
Highly recommend this great book BLACK WOMEN WRITERS AT WORK
