Bicycles: Love Poems
Bicycles: Love Poems | Nikki Giovanni
12 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
In a career that has earned her accolades, honorary degrees, and awards from both fellow poets and everyday poetry lovers, Nikki Giovanni has established herself as a writer who can entertain and challenge, inform and inspire. Sometimes controversial, sometimes ethereal, but always beautiful, her poems move readers of all hues and generations. With Bicycles, she's collected poems that serve as a companion to her 1997 Love Poems. An instant classic, that book romantic, bold, and erotic expressed notions of love in ways that were delightfully unexpected. In the years that followed, Giovanni experienced losses both public and private: a mother's passing, a sister's too, and a massacre on the campus where she teaches. Yet just when it seemed life was spinning out of control, Giovanni rediscovered love what she calls the antidote. Here romantic love and all its manifestations, the physical touch, the emotional pull, the hungry heart is distilled as never before by one of our most talented poets."

What do I think of when I consider Bicycles and also Love? Amsterdam! 🌷🚲❤️
These are fun and energetic poems, covering all the emotions and kinds of love. Either my 101st book of the year or the 102nd - don‘t you hate it when gr tracking and your own tracking don‘t agree? 😤🤓

The small one recently learned to ride without training wheels and can‘t get enough. Her sister learned too but not as well. Luckily, they both have much bigger bikes waiting for them.

Still bingeing my way through "Veep," and in one of the best scenes ever (Selena and Gary are having a laughing fit in the bathroom of a refugee services center) JLD pulls BICYCLES out of Gary's leviathan (a.k.a. his man bag). I have never read Giovanni although I did listen to her collected works on audio. Must add that to Litsy when I get home!
