One Last Word: Wisdom from the Harlem Renaissance

Inspired by the writers of the Harlem Renaissance, bestselling author Nikki Grimes uses the "Golden Shovel" poetic method to create wholly original poems based on the works of master poets like Langston Hughes, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Jean Toomer, and others who enriched history during this era. Each poem is paired with one-of-a-kind artwork from today's most exciting African American illustrators, creating an emotional and thought-provoking book with timely themes for today's readers.
