A review by scvrdinko
Love Poems by Nikki Giovanni
2.25
having only seen nikki giovanni's interview and similar things, not actually knowing her as a poet, i had different expectations. so the only true emotion is bewilderment, i think.
i could see what she was doing and i now more or less understand her literary significance in the time period-it is open, angry and shocking-but now it feels overdone.
some pieces were great and touching, yet for the most part i was indifferent for maybe it's too personal occasionally.
every time i liked something or at least its idea i thought how i would prefer it to be a full essay.. it's clearly not hollow, but its form is not doing it for me, unfortunately..
but nikki giovanni is undeniably a lover & you can feel it!
