God Themselves: a poetry book that is a salve, psalm, litany, and testimony all at once.

 In her stunning debut, poet Jae Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up as a queer Black woman in the American South as she courageously confronts the effects of forced religion and learns to center the body---something she was always told to hide. God Themselves is divided into three moving sections: Everything, Everywhere, and Love. Nichelle carefully braids her wisdom and witty humor into each poem, ensuring that if you’ve ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, you will find comfort in each psalm and litany from this powerful new voice.
