One Last Word: Wisdom from the Harlem Renaissance by Nikki Grimes

5.0

Wow, this collection of poetry is incredible! The title, One Last Word, refers to how Grimes created her original poems for this collection using the Golden Shovel form. Not only did Grimes select a beautiful and rich cross-section of poems from the Harlem Renaissance, but she paid homage to them by transforming their words into contemporary poems about modern struggles. Also, the art work was breathtaking.
