In this emotional and thought-provoking book of poetry, bestselling author Nikki Grimes finds inspiration from poets of the Harlem Renaissance. Moved by the evocative verse of legendary writers from the era, Grimes has composed gorgeous new poetry with timely themes for today. By using the "Golden Shovel" poetic form, she has created wholly original poems based on the works of master poets like Langston Hughes, Georgia Douglas Johnson, Jean Toomer, and others who enriched history during the Harlem Renaissance.
Past and present come together in classic and newly composed poems that will inspire meaningful reflection for generations to come. Paired with one-of-a-kind artwork from some of today's most exciting African American illustrators, One Last Word is a book to be treasured.
