Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Legacy: Women Poets of the Harlem Renaissance by Nikki Grimes, read by Bahni Turpin, Karole Foreman, Zakiya Young and Janina Edwards.

From Children's Literature Legacy Award-winning author Nikki Grimes comes a feminist-forward new collection of poetry celebrating the little-known women poets of the Harlem Renaissance.

For centuries, accomplished women - of all races - have fallen out of the historical records. The same is true for gifted, prolific women poets of the Harlem Renaissance who are little known, especially as compared to their male counterparts.

In this poetry collection, best-selling author Nikki Grimes uses 'The Golden Shovel' poetic method to create wholly original poems based on the works of these groundbreaking women - and to introduce listeners to their work.

Legacy also includes a foreword, an introduction to the history of the Harlem Renaissance, author's note and poet biographies, which make this a wonderful resource and a book to cherish.
