Description
"For more than fifty years, Nikki Giovanni's poetry has dazzled and inspired readers. As sharp and outspoken as ever, she returns with this profound book of poetry in which she continues to call attention to injustice and racism, celebrate Black culture and Black lives, and give readers an unfiltered look into her own experiences. In Make Me Rain, she exalts her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her Black heritage, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. Giovanni reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as 'I Come from Athletes' and 'Rainy Days,' calling out segregation and Donald Trump, as well as 'Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)' and 'When I Could No Longer' -- her personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive home life. Stirring provocative, and resonant, the poems in Make Me Rain pierce the heart and nourish the soul." --
