I am the Rage is not just a poetry book. It is a call-to-action.
This evocative collection of thirty poems puts readers in the
position of feeling, reflecting, and empathizing with what it means
to be Black in America today. Dr. Martina McGowan, a doctor and
grandmother who has been a victim of and an advocate against
social, racial, and sexual injustices, uses powerful free verse
poetry to express the range of emotions, thoughts, and grief she
had following the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the
subsequent Black Lives Matter protests, and the ongoing attacks
against the Black community. For those who are moved by the poetry
of Amanda Gorman and Maya Angelou, Dr. McGowan's poems are a
glimpse into the Black experience and will stay with you long after
you've read them. Her unforgettable words are brought to life
through powerful illustrations by Diana Ejaita, whose work has been
featured in Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The New York Times,
making it a beautiful poetry gift book for women and men. Praise
for I am the Rage: "I am The Rage is a timely look at generations
of trauma and inaction."-Bustle "A raw and searing examination of
America's reckoning with racism."-POPSUGAR "These poems reverberate
with the powerful grief of a woman who speaks the vulnerability of
living in a world where being black makes you a target."-Pamala A.
Thiede, Amazon customer review
A powerful poetry picture book from a celebrated contemporary poet
and illustrator about the wonder and possibility contained in a
single word: letSuppose there was a book full only of the word, let
. . .Adapted from a poem called “Book of Genesis” by the
celebrated poet Kei Miller and beautifully imagined and illustrated
by Diana Ejaita, this provocative and hopeful picture book is an
ode to the power of words and of books—of seeing oneself and
being seen—and to a world of wonder and possibility.
