Acolytes

Startling and original, prescient and illuminating, here is a new collection from the poet who has become an icon. . . .

“The work of Nikki Giovanni has been as evolutionary as it has been revolutionary. One of the finest poets of our time. . . Her work still resonates.”—Ebony

“If there was a need for poetry that galvanized and inspired, there was also a demand for poetry that comforted and unified — and Ms. Giovanni provided on both counts.” — The Washington Post
