Blues: For All the Changes: New Poems Hardcover - 1999
by Nikki Giovanni
Summary
Intimate, edgy, and unapologetic, Blues For All the Changes bears the mark of Nikki Giovanni's unmistakable voice. At once political and intensely personal, this long-awaited volume embodies the fearless passion and wit that have made Nikki Giovanni one of our most accessible poets; her audience defies all boundaries of race, class, age, and style.From the poignant "Stealing Home," Ms. Giovanni's tribute to Jackie Robinson, to the defiant "Road Rage Blues," a jam on time and space, these fifty-one poems challenge the fates and invoke the precarious state of our environment, Giovanni's battle with illness, manners, and other topics seminal to one of our most compassionate, outspoken observers.With a reverence for the power of language, Blues For All the Changes will once again enchant Nikki Giovanni's extensive following and inspire those who are newly discovering her work.

Description:
New York: Wm Morrow, 1999. Fine in fine dust jacket (brand-new condition). A professor at Virginia Tech, Giovanni is the poet who spoke at the memorial service after the recent shootings, and thrilled the mourners with her "We are the Hokies. We will prevail, we will prevail. We are Virginia Tech." Even at that mournful occasion, she challenged the students: "We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness." 99 pages of her recent work, with a startling picture of the poet on the book jacket, that contrasts her clear almost angelic face with the "Thug Life" tattoo on her forearm. An original voice. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
