About This Item
New York: Wm Morrow, 1999. Fine in fine dust jacket (brand-new condition). A professor at Virginia Tech, Giovanni is the poet who spoke at the memorial service after the recent shootings, and thrilled the mourners with her "We are the Hokies. We will prevail, we will prevail. We are Virginia Tech." Even at that mournful occasion, she challenged the students: "We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness." 99 pages of her recent work, with a startling picture of the poet on the book jacket, that contrasts her clear almost angelic face with the "Thug Life" tattoo on her forearm. An original voice. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
