One of America's most celebrated poets challenges us with this
powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the
injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own
heart. 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 celebrates 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.
