I do agree with Nikki Giovanni´sidea of poetry having a healing effect.

Explanation:

Yolande Cornelia Giovanni, Jr. herself has used her poetry as a means to combine her interests in both writing and having politicly radical activities into material that could be healing. Her poetry in Black Feeling, Black Talk was a way to process her grandmother’s death as well as the growing Civil Rights movement. And the theme of black female identity  is discussed in a few poems of Black Judgement and is the prime issue of Re: Creation.
