My House

by Nikki Giovanni

Book Overview

Enter the world of Nikki Giovanni. Writing of mothers and their children, of childhood memories, of black leaders and black Africa, the poems in My House marked a new dimension in tone and philosophy for Nikki Giovanni when they first appeared at the beginning of her extraordinary career. Emotional and autobiographical, Nikki Giovanni personalizes the political--like no one else--and brings her house in all its complexity and glory to our own backyards...

'Cause it's MY HOUSE!

That's right! And what I do in it is my business! Tell 'em girlfriend! LOL I loved this collection as well. So much so, I keep a volume next to my bed to browse through every now and again. She's got some real gems in here. A few of my all time favorties are My House, of course, but I also love Winter Poem, The World is Not A Pleasant Place to Be and The Butterfly. Enjoy!!
