God Themselves

byJae Nichelle

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 her luminous thoughts in God Themselves, a new collection of stirring poetry. Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman to courageously confront the effects of a forced religion and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body. God Themselves is divided into three equally moving sections: Everything, Everywhere, and Love. Nichelle braids her wisdom––as seen in the poem “What to Do When There’s Nothing You Can Do”––and witty generational humor––seen in "Sanctity: An Exposé"––into every poem. If you’ve ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, find comfort in these words.

About Poetry

Engage with the rhythm and beauty of language in one of the world’s most ancient oral traditions. If ever there was a literary form made for audio, it’s poetry. From its earliest forms to the poems being written today, poetry has kept its close alliance with speaking and singing. The music of poetry, its sounds and rhythms, are meant to have voice. Listen to some of the best poetry audiobooks and hear the rhythm of the language as recited by the poets themselves or dramatic readers whose intonations will transport you into a world where language really matters. Poetry shows us that how something is said is an essential part of what is being said. Tone of voice, inflection and rhythm enlarges our experience allowing us to see worlds through other people and other ages. Listen to bestselling poet and Instagram star Atticus in his romantic and moving collection, The Truth About Magic. Immerse yourself in the Black experience in Black Imagination: Black Voices on Black Futures, or explore The Classic Hundred Poems: All-time Favorites, an anthology of poems from the greatest masters of French literature translated into English. Open your ears and listen to the rhythm of odes, sonnets, free verse and epic dramas.
