A Nikki Giovanni poem! WOW! Need I say more? Sure...because if you don't know the poetry of Nikki G...enjoy this wonderful introduction to one of Aunti Oni's favorite poems written by Professor Nikki Giovanni, an iconic poet, author, living legend, and scholar on the African American experience. Ms. Giovanni holds 21 honorary degrees in the Literary Arts and is known as the "Princess of Poetry" since blooming out of the Black Arts Movement in America. racing against the sun and foundation-wise:rock-solid touches hearts as a beautiful tribute to nature, people, poetry, books, and butterflies....all of our favorites! Both poems can be found on the last two pages of the book, Nikki Giovanni's Ego Tripping, and other poems for young people.
