A review by skoppelkam
Bicycles by Nikki Giovanni

4.0

Nikki Giovanni makes me want to grow old and live by myself in a house with lots of big sunshine-y windows and a huge garden and drink bottles of expensive red wine and maybe talk to people, maybe not, but mostly just wear AMAZING WHITE SUITS.

These love poems felt like they were largely love poems to solitude, to old age, to pleasure, and to enjoying one's own company. Pure joy.
