One Last Word: Wisdom from the Harlem Renaissance
by
Nikki Grimes
About the Book
In this collection of poetry, Nikki
Grimes looks afresh at the poets of the Harlem Renaissance—including
voices like Langston Hughes, Georgia Douglas Johnson, and many more
writers of importance and resonance from this era—by combining their
work with her own original poetry. Using "The Golden Shovel" poetic
method, Grimes has written a collection of poetry that is as gorgeous as
it is thought-provoking.
This book also includes original artwork in full-color from some of today's
most exciting African American illustrators, who have created pieces of
art based on Nikki's original poems. Featuring art by: Cozbi Cabrera, R.
Gregory Christie, Pat Cummings, Jan Spivey Gilchrist, Ebony Glenn,
Nikki Grimes, E. B. Lewis, Frank Morrison, Christopher Myers, Brian
Pinkney, Sean Qualls, James Ransome, Javaka Steptoe, Shadra Strickland,
and Elizabeth Zunon.
