Description
By: Jae Nichelle
Jae Nichelle’s debut poetry collection powerfully reflects her experience of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman, courageously confronting the effects of a forced religion, and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body.
Let this book be a celebration of queerness, Blackness, and love. Let these words be a modern church, these poems a holy space.
Rising star and spoken word poet Jae Nichelle debuts with God Themselves, her first collection of stirring poetry divided into three equally moving sections:
Nichelle braids her wisdom––as seen in the poem “What to Do When There’s Nothing You Can Do”––and witty generational humor––as in “Sanctity: An Exposé”––into every one of her luminous poems. If you’ve ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, find comfort in her empathetic words.
