Bücher von Nikki Giovanni

By making the world a more beautiful place, Artemis supports the visions of our artists in a time when we need to write and make art to heal our souls and enrich our communities. Artemis Journal represents the Appalachian region of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and is one of the few journals in America that blends art, poetry, and prose throughout its pages. Likewise, it remains a journal that publishes fledgling writers and artists alongside prominent writers such as Nikki Giovanni, Virginia Poet Laureate, Ron Smith, Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, U.S. Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey, as well as prominent artists such as Betty Branch, Steven Kenny, and Linda Atkinson. Artemis is a charitable non-profit organization, now 45 years old, and has evolved into an all-inclusive journal with essays, poetry, and art.

For more than fifty years, Nikki Giovanni's poetry has dazzled and inspired readers. When she first emerged from the Black Arts Movement in the late 1960s, she immediately became one of the most celebrated and controversial poets of the era. Considered a living legend, this is the first new Selected since the late nineties, and offers readers a chance to be introduced to and to celebrate her incredible lifetime's work. Arranged chronologically, Giovanni's poetry speaks from and to the Black experience, with Black love, Black struggle and Black joy at the centre. The selection charts a full half-century of American life, touching on mothers and motherhood, great loves, death, dreams and revolution, showing Giovanni at her essential, profound best.
