Bicycles: Love Poems by Nikki Giovanni (William Morrow), picked by Bookseller Lori
I’ve enjoyed the poetry of Ms. Giovanni for over 50 years! In this collection, the poems are erotic, introspective and bold. I see the bicycle as a metaphor for the ways in which we move ourselves away from the past, through the present, and into the future.
