One of Americas 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 Giovannis 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 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 Dayscalling out segregation and Donald Trump; as well as Unloved (for Aunt Cleota) and When I Could No Longerher 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.
