Separation

Race separates the message of the poetry, and I don't like that. I have seen that often with Ms. Giovanni's work.

I think that Ms Giovnanni is a very talented poet, and very accomplishes scholar, but I find it annoying to see race such a mainstay in her poetry.

My first book of Poems!!!!!!!!!

My mother gave this book to me when I was 11 and it had a profound impact on my life. I have recited the EGO-Tripping poems more than I can remember. My greatest joy came when I heard Nikki Giovanni recite it in person. I would reccomend this book to any young African American boy or girl as an introduction to poetry, it is truly a work of art!!!!!!!!!!!!
