Description

The poetry of Nikki Giovanni has spurred social justice movements and inspired songs, turned hearts and informed generations about the reality of lifeespecially Black life--in America. One of the foremost African-American writers and activists of her generation, she has been hailed as a healer and a sage, a powerful voice on issues of race, equality, violence, and discrimination.

WithChasing Utopia, Giovanni demands that the prosaicflowers, food, birdsong, winterbe seen as poetic, and reaffirms once again why she is as energetic, "remarkable" (Gwendolyn Brooks), "wonderful" (Marian Wright Edelman),"outspoken, prolific, energetic" (New York Times), and relevant as ever.

This slim volume delights on every page. There are stories, imaginings, whimsy, and startling images which prove the poets power and her command of language . . . Anyone with a love of language will be delighted with this book and the continuing publication of Americas treasured poet.San Francisco Book Review
