Black feeling, Black talk, Black judgement

This book is one of the single most important volumes of modern African-American poetry.

It includes Nikki Giovanni's first published poems, which were released in two collections: *Black Feeling, Black Talk* (1968) and *Black Judgement* (1969).

The poems embody the fearless passion and spirited wit for which Giovanni is beloved and revered.

They address themes of racial injustice, Black power, and personal identity, and include masterpieces such as 'Nikki-Rosa' and 'Knoxville, Tennessee'.

The collection made Giovanni famous in 1968 and continues to inspire and enthrall readers with its commanding voice and poignant observations.
