The poetry of Nikki Giovanni has spurred movements, turned hearts and informed generations. Shes been hailed as a firebrand, a radical, a courageous activist who has spoken out on the sensitive issues that touch our national consciousness, including race and gender, social justice, protest, violence in the home and in the streets, and why black lives matter. One of Americas most celebrated poets looks inward in this powerful collection, a rumination on her life and the people who have shaped her.As energetic and relevant as ever, Nikki now offers us an intimate, affecting, and illuminating look at her personal history and the mysteries of her own heart. InA Good Cry,she takes us into her confidence, describing the joy and peril of aging and recalling the violence that permeated her parents marriage and her early life. She pays homage to the people who have given her life meaning and joy her grandparents, who took her in and saved her life the poets and thinkers who have influenced her and the students who have surrounded her. Nikki also celebrates her good friend, Maya Angelou, and the many years of friendship, poetry, and kitchentable laughter they shared before Angelous death in 2014."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
