Answer and Explanation:

Based on Nikki Giovanni's poem, we can consider that she has a style that likes to combine complex literary resources in a simple and objective structure. This shows that her texts have an easy appearance, but contain deep and even complex meanings through the constant use of difficult and meaningful resources and elements. This can be seen in "A Poem for My Librarian, Mrs. Long" where the author presents a poem with strong meaning, with many complex literary elements, but in a simple poem with free verses.
