God Themselves

By Jae Nichelle

Book Overview

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:
Everything, Everywhere, Love.
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 Expos (c)"--into every one of her luminous poems. If you've ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, find comfort in her empathetic words.
