520 |a "For decades, Nikki Giovanni's poetry has been at the forefront of American culture. 'The New Book' is a towering work of protest against the divisions of our time, leavened with moments of joy and reflection about Giovanni's family history and the small pleasures of her richly lived life. With this collection--that also features short prose, letters, and one especially memorable recipe--Giovanni reaffirms her status as a giant of literature, a canny truth-teller, an indispensable radical orator, and one of America's preeminent cultural critics. It is a book to be savored...and shared." --jacket.
