What is your favorite book that you have on a mantel, or on the bookcase that you know is important to you, and that you would recommend?

I’ll tell you something that I just read, and I just, I just love it. It’s called a good cry in its book about Nikki Giovanni, the poet, and it’s and she talks about the things that we learn from tears and laughter. And I just thought it was just a wonderful read. She and Maya Angelou were dear friends, and so they just shared many, many years of friendship and poetry. That was a really great book for me.
