The great poet Nikki Giovanni who is an English professor at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., is the subject of our Quote of the Week in honor of National Poetry Month and the upcoming third anniversary of the Virginia Tech tragedy. Giovanni gave one of the key speeches at the memorial services for the students and faculty who were killed on that fateful Monday morning.
Giovanni was our choice for Person of the Year for this blog in 2007:
"We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be tamed."
