Review of Quilting the Black-eyed Pea
Poets Nikki Giovanni & Lucinda Roy explore very different takes on African-Americaness in this lyrical discussion with host Sara McConnell. The featured poems by Roy & Giovanni give much food for thought on issues as seemingly incongruous as the Middle Passage and its lessons for a journey to Mars, to a tratise on curly hair and childhood taunts.
Host McConnell knows when to let the conversation flow and guides it well through this intelligent half hour . Listeners will enjoy this exploration in thoughts and dreams of two great poets.
