Summary
"Nikki Giovani [...] returns with this [...] book of poetry in which she continues to call attention to injustice and give readers an unfiltered look into the most private parts of herself. 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. [... P]oems such as "I Come from Athletes" and "rainy Days" -- [call] 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." --, Back coverPoet Nikki Giovanni 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
