She is amazing! She has been my favorite poet since the ninth grade and I had the pleasure of meeting her, talking to her, having her sign on e of her collections of poetry and getting my picture taken with her when she read her work at the Delta National Convention in Chicago in 2000 (She's my Delta Soror). I was thrilled!
I really enjoyed the show. I almost forgot is was coming on, even after all this discussion of when. But I saw half. I saw Nikki Giovanni, Black Ice and the woman who did the incredibly moving poem about being American, a New Yorker, A Palestinian, A woman and she made my heart jump. I absolutely love good poetry.
