God Themselves
Autor Jae Nichelleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2023
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 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.

Recenzii
Fans of fresh, accessible poetry in the lineage of Staceyann Chin and Black Girl, Call Home will love spoken word poet Nichelle’s newest collection. It’s a loud, exuberant celebration of Black womanhood, queer love, and lives stitched into wholeness despite legacies of violence, trauma, and religious anti-gay bias. Wise, tender, and funny, these conversational poems create a joyful, holy space for anyone who has felt othered and alienated by traditional religious practices. (Laura Sackton, Buzzfeed News)
“Nichelle’s experience of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman is relayed to luminous effect in this collection, which dives deep into the effects of religious trauma and suggests a less-fraught, more individual relationship with the divine.” (Emma Specter, Vogue)

Descriere
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.
