Make Me Rain: Poems & Prose by Nikki Giovanni

4.0

Whoa, I know Nicki Giovanni is an amazing poet, but this collection of her work really blew my mind. From comforting and joyful poems reflecting on her life to some straight up passionate truths about racism, rape, and other injustices, she did not hold back. She even had one about that awkward time after a long flight she had to pee while someone needed one more thing from her. My favorite was Quilts but all of these will stay with me. What I would give to have a dinner with her and just hear some of these poems and prose in person.
