I am glad that, though life intervened on numerous occasions and my circumstances were often foreboding, I continued writing. I am sure I learned a lot about the world and myself that I would not have otherwise. Over time, many people contributed in different ways to my work and I am happy I have encountered them all. Back in school, via the poems of Kavafis, Karyotakis, Seferis, Elytis, and the ancient lyrics, my Greek teacher Christos Foundos showed me the way to the pleasures of poetry. At Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Prof. Ekaterini Georgoudaki handed me the seeds to this thesis on a pink post-it note, empowering me to believe that I could achieve beyond my gender and class limitations.

    SELECTED POETRY OF NIKKI GIOVANNI: A BURKEIAN ANALYSIS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas Estate University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS 37 Carolyn Tobola, B.A. Denton, Texas August, 1973 Tobola, Carolyn, Selected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni; A Burkeian Analysis. Master of Arts (Speech and Drama), August, 1973> 96 pp., bibliography, b-7 titles. In this study, Kenneth Burke's methods of dramatistic analysis is applied to the selected poetry of Nikki Giovanni, a Black contemporary female poet. The procedure, analysis of poetry for symbolic action, is a functional approach which focuses on the poetic language, Agency. The thesis, divided into four chapters, concentrates on discovery of the Purpose, a Black female motive, for the Act, Giovanni's poetry, in the Scene, contemporary Black America. Chapter I is an overview of Kenneth Burke and his drama- tistic method of analysis. The chapter includes an explana- tion of Burkeian terms pertinent to this study and a list of the nine poems which were categorically selected for this study. Also included in the chapter is a discussion of six procedural steps for poetic analysis. The final three steps are the most important in the procedure: "pun analysis," "rhetoric of rebirth," and "archytypal structure." Chapter II describes the Scene encompassing the Act. The circum- ference of the Scene is narrowed to include the following three areas: political and social, artistic, and familial and personal in order to determine the factors influencing Giovanni's Act. A historical account of the Civil Rights Movement describes "the social and political scene.
