Description
Nikki Giovanni's powerful and deeply personal collection of verse challenges us with its unflinching look at injustice and racism. For over fifty years, her poetry has dazzled and inspired readers with its sharp and outspoken voice. In Make Me Rain, Giovanni continues to call attention to the twin sins of racism and white nationalism, while celebrating Black culture and Black lives. This book is a poignant exploration of her own experiences, including poems that pay tribute to loved ones and reflect on her place in the world. With poems like "I Come from Athletes" and "Rainy Days", Giovanni reaffirms her position as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice.
