{"product_id":"9780688140472","title":"Selected Poems of Nikki Giovanni","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Nikki Giovanni's poems first emerged from the Black Rights Movement in the late 1960s, she immediately took a place among the most celebrated and controversial poets of the era. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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. Arranged chronologically, they reflect the changes Giovanni has endured as a Black woman, lover, mother, teacher, and poet. Here is the evocation of a nation's past and present — intensely personal and fiercely political — from one of our most compassionate, outspoken observers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015022330096,"sku":"9780688140472","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780688140472_p0.jpg?v=1763609714","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780688140472","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
