    Summary:

    In this profound book of poetry, 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. 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.
