$One year ago, the world lost a real one, a true poet and trailblazer of the human spirit: Nikki Giovanni (June 7, 1943 – December 9, 2024). While critic Harold Bloom often lamented the rise of multiculturalism in contemporary literature and disparaged slam poetry, by contrast Giovanni embraced cultural change as part of a continuum, even getting a “Thug Life” tattoo on her arm. Earlier this year, while in Japan at a fantastic record shop called Record Jungle, I picked up two of her early albums: 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕥𝕙 𝕀𝕤 𝕠𝕟 𝕀𝕥𝕤 𝕎𝕒𝕪 (1971) and 𝕃𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕒 ℝ𝕚𝕡𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕒 ℙ𝕠𝕟𝕕 (1973). Both meld poetry with blues, gospel, and the power of the collective. May we all harness even a fraction of her indomitable spirit—to speak truth to power, to resist, and to find joy in our shared humanity.$
