An Evening with Nikki Giovanni: The Compassion, the Courage, the Challenge of Poetry

From a talk at ASU earlier this semester. All the Blacks in the city was there. She was amazing. I think maybe she is why I wanted to go blonde all semester. She starts around 10 min. She is some kind of amazing.

Yes! I finally got to see her speak in person today in Denver, it was like a dream. Brilliant, powerful, funny, AMAZING, indeed. I bought one of her new books Bicycles: Love Poems and she signed it too. Love her!
