#GratefulHarvest - Tradition: I don‘t remember a New Year‘s Day when this didn‘t happen. My Dad cooking a big pot of Black-eyed Peas and Ham Hocks on New Year‘s Eve. My Mom standing at the ready with spoons in hand to deliver the hope of prosperity for the coming new year after you got the midnight smooches.💋 When I was grown enough to hang out for a party or two, I remember my phone ringing like crazy after midnight.👇🏽

Isn‘t this lovely? Collecting books for the winter! #Poem by #NikkiGiovanni illustrated by #AshleyBryan

#TableofContents for this #CulturalHistory of the #HarlemRenaissance written by #LabanCarrickHill with a foreword by poet #NikkiGiovanni

Looking forward to this #CulturalHistory of the #HarlemRenaissance 🤓

Written by #LabanCarrickHill
Foreword by #NikkiGiovanni

Anything Nikki Giovanni wrote is going to be good. Her poems can be incredibly simple and they hit like a ton of bricks.
It was hard to pick just one black author there are so many fantastic ones.
I‘m going to tag everyone that sees this. So you are tagged

I‘ll preface this by saying it‘s not my favorite Nikki Giovanni collection, but it‘s Nikki Giovanni and she‘s one of my favorite poets. This collection of poetry and short verse has some gems sprinkled throughout, a lot of which is inspired by her love of family and food.
