In her legendary career, artist and activist Nikki Giovanni has established herself as a writer who can entertain and challenge, and a voice for social justice who can inform and inspire in times of national crisis. Controversial, revolutionary, ethereal, or illuminating, her poems about race, Black lives, violence, gender, and family move readers of all ages and backgrounds.<\/p>\n

With BICYCLES, she\u2019s collected poems that serve as a companion to her 1997 LOVE POEMS. An instant classic, that book\u2014romantic, bold, and erotic\u2014expressed notions of love in ways that were delightfully unexpected. In the years that followed, Giovanni experienced losses both public and private. A mother\u2019s passing, a sister\u2019s, too. A massacre on the campus at which she teaches. And just when it seemed life was spinning out of control, Giovanni rediscovered love\u2014what she calls the antidote. Here romantic love\u2014and all its manifestations, the physical touch, the emotional pull, the hungry heart\u2014is distilled as never before by one of our most talented poets. In a time of national crisis or personal crisis, this is a collection that will open minds and change hearts as only the best art can.<\/p>\n

“If there was a need for poetry that galvanized and inspired, there was also a demand for poetry that comforted and unified \u2014 and Ms. Giovanni provided on both counts.” \u2014 The Washington Post<\/p>\n
