"Nikki Giovanni has a skill... the skill of the written word... the skill of the beauty and the power of words and the ugliness of words and the weakness of words. Words are usually so much scribbling on naked paper. People like Nikki Giovani make them more. They make them convictions, commitments, truths... sometimes not so pretty; they make them black realities" (Tuesday Magazine).
