A Poetic Equation: Conversations Between Nikki Giovanni and Margaret Walker by Nikki Giovanni and Margaret Walker
A Poetic Equation: Conversations Between Nikki Giovanni and Margaret Walker is a lively, impassioned, and intense meeting of two literary giants. It is also a caring and yet uninhibited dialogue between two women a generation apart, a mother–daughter exchange imbued with the spirit of love and respect. The literary conversation expresses the views of two black women who are both award winners with international recognition. The topics range from the Vietnam War, race relations, and evolving gender roles to literature, art, and societal violence. Each exchange mirrors the generational and regional temperaments, backgrounds, and philosophies of both women: for Giovanni, it is the fiery cauldron of the 1960s; for Walker, the Depression and World War II-era 1930s and 1940s. In a postscript to this edition, Giovanni projects the dialogue into the 1980s and beyond.
