Nikki Giovanni - in her own words

As we have made free with one of her poems I thought we might take a look at this piece from 2008.

Nikki Giovanni is a woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind, and her 

writing is all the stronger for it. In this exclusive video interview with 

Reading Rockets, the poet and author discusses everything from Rosa 

Parks to reading with her son. She even clarifies the link between books, 

chocolate, and Harry Potter!
