I went on a Nikki Giovanni poetry reading binge because she will be at the SC Book Festival in May 2014.This little anthology of love poems is a selection of some of her earlier poems about relationships, unrequited love, longterm love, and loss. It is a partner book to the volume published in 2009, Bicycles. I shamelessly enjoyed these, because sometimes you just need a good love poem.My favorites include:A Poem of FriendshipYou Are There i shall save my poemsfor the winter of my dreams...

Wonderful little book of love poems from a very thoughtful poet.

Last year, I took a class with Nikki at Virginia Tech. Every week, I would bring a muffin to class and we would split it. I don't know if she knew my name, but sometimes she would write "Muffin" at the top of my papers after I turned them in. When I told her I was getting married over the summer, she gave me this book.Her poems are so sharp and witty, but they're also soft and truthful. If you ever get the absolute blessing to meet Nikki, you'll see that she writes and speaks with the same
