The passage of Nikki Giovanni belongs in the Poetry subforum, but as I ran into a "You have insufficient privileges to post threads here" stoplight, and couldn't put this where it belongs, I am going to repost the NY Times article on her death here because this icon deserves attention to be paid.
Nikki Giovanni, the charismatic and iconoclastic poet, activist, children’s book author, and professor who wrote, irresistibly and sensuously, about race, politics, gender, sex, and love, died on Monday in Blacksburg, Va. She was 81.
