[Unedited] Nicki Giovanni with Krista Tippett
b'It feels good and right this week to sit with the beloved writer Nikki Giovanni\\u2019s signature mix of high seriousness, sweeping perspective, and insistent pleasure. In the 1960s, she was a poet of the Black Arts Movement that nourished civil rights. She\\u2019s also a professor at Virginia Tech, where she brought beauty and courage after the 2007 shooting there. And she\\u2019s an adored voice to a new generation \\u2014 an enthusiastic elder to us all \\u2014 at home in her body and in the world of her lifetime even while she sees and delights in the beyond of it.'
