Nikki Giovanni's poetry was fully formed in the sixties, blending social commentary on injustice with a humor and Southern sensibility uniquely her own.
Her works explore the rich terrain of Black thought, mixing anger, beauty, and social commentary, reminding readers that 'Black love is Black wealth'.
Giovanni's poetry often bridged traditional Black boast culture with humor and deep social reflection, making her one of the profound voices in African American literature.
Questions of nature in Giovanni's work reflect a broader concern among poets of her generation with how environment and existence intertwine.
