"If there was a need for poetry that galvanized and inspired, there was also a demand for poetry that comforted and unified — and Ms. Giovanni provided on both counts." — The Washington Post

What happens when a legendary poet turns her unflinching gaze on love, politics, and the soul of America?
Blues and Jazz Rhythms: Experience poems infused with the syncopated soul of Billie Holiday and Miles Davis, where every line tells a story and every verse sings a truth.Unflinching Social Commentary: From the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement to the sharp injustices of the modern day, Giovanni’s voice cuts through the noise with clarity and fire.Deeply Personal Poems: Journey with Giovanni through intimate moments—a battle with cancer, the memory of family, and the profound connection found in watching a baby robin learn to fly.The African American Experience: A powerful exploration of Black life, history, and resilience, celebrating figures from Jackie Robinson to Tupac Shakur with love and complexity.
