Bicycles: Love Poems by Nikki
Giovanni
Great Gift
In a career that has earned her accolades, honorary degrees, and awards
from both fellow poets and everyday poetry lovers, Nikki Giovanni has
established herself as a writer who can entertain and challenge, inform and
inspire. Sometimes controversial, sometimes ethereal, but always
beautiful, her poems move readers of all hues and generations.
With Bicycles, shes collected poems that serve as a companion to her
1997 Love Poems. An instant classic, that book—romantic, bold, and
erotic—expressed notions of love in ways that were delightfully
unexpected. In the years that followed, Giovanni experienced losses both
public and private. A mothers passing, a sisters, too. A massacre on the
campus at which she teaches. And just when it seemed life was spinning
out of control, Giovanni redis-covered love—what she calls the antidote.
Here romantic love—and all its manifestations, the physical touch, the

emotional pull, the hungry heart—is distilled as never before by one of our
most talented poets.
Personal Review: Bicycles: Love Poems by Nikki Giovanni
With Bicycles, poetess Nikki Giovanni takes the thesis of love poems to a
higher level. Poetry is a tough genre to review but I highly recommend
Bicycles for the avid poetry lover, as well as the beginner. I flew through
the pages and will keep this book close by, so I can recollect on Nikki's
wonderfully artistic way of guiding me through a bad day.
