One of America's most celebrated poets challenges us with this powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own heart.

For more than thirty years, Nikki Giovanni's poetry has inspired, enlightened, and dazzled readers. As sharp and outspoken as ever, this artist long hailed as a healer and a sage returns with this profound book of poetry in which she continues to call attention to injustice and give readers an unfiltered look into the most private parts of herself.

In Make Me Rain, she celebrates her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her black heritage, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. Giovanni reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as "I Come from Athletes" and "Rainy Days"--calling out segregation and Donald Trump; as well as "Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)" and ""When I Could No Longer"--her personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive home life.

Stirring, provocative, and resonant, the poems in Make Me Rain pierce the heart and nourish the soul.

Color: Gray, Item Shape: Teardrop
the best for a too tall desk or table or not correct height chair. 5’3, always too short for things and this has definitely helped since working at home! super soft too and different surfaces and heights!

helps my swelling in my ankles and feet
Color: Black, Item Shape: Classic
I was having issues with my feet swelling because I sit all day for work. After using this my feet don't swell like they did. The product is also comfortable. I would recommend this foot rest. The best part is its two and one. You can use the rest or turn it over and rock it with your feet which helps. The foot rest is sturdy and durable.

Very Comfortable & Useful Foot Rest
Color: Navy, Item Shape: Teardrop
This product is a lifesaver for me since I sit at my desk for hours on end. Just the simple act of raising my feet up onto this heavenly soft foot rest makes a huge difference in how my back, legs, and feet feel at the end of the day. Very high quality materials and workmanship. You can also remove the zippered cover from the memory foam pillow and wash it.

Very Comfortable and Supportive, Minor Flaws
Color: Gray, Item Shape: Classic
I’ve been using this ComfiLife adjustable memory‑foam foot rest under my desk for a few weeks now, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how my legs and lower back feel. What I Like: The high‑density memory foam is plush but still supportive, conforming nicely to my feet whether I wear shoes or sit barefoot. Under Yours +2 ShipItFurniture +2 The adjustable height feature is super helpful — you can add or remove a base layer (2-inch detachable bottom) to set the footrest exactly where you want it. ComfiLife +1 The removable cover is machine washable, which is great for keeping it clean. Under Yours The bottom has a non-slip rubber surface, so it stays in place nicely under my desk. ComfiLife It’s multipurpose: you can even flip it over and use it as a rocker or support it under your knees. Under Yours What Could Be Better: Because it’s memory foam, it compresses a bit over time—not a deal-breaker, but you’ll notice it loses some height after prolonged use. ShopSavvy While the height adjustment works, I found it a little less stable when fully extended. ShopSavvy The fabric cover can collect dust or dirt, so you might need to clean it more often than a plastic footrest. Fakespot Overall: This footrest is a strong pick if you spend a lot of time sitting at a desk and want something soft, supportive, and adjustable. It’s not perfect, but the comfort and ergonomic benefits are absolutely worth it.

Comfortable, Adjustable, and Great Value!
Color: Gray, Item Shape: Teardrop, Color: Gray, Item Shape: Teardrop
This footrest is exactly as described. The two-piece design offers excellent flexibility, allowing for multiple configurations to suit different needs. Both pieces are comfortable and adjust easily as intended. I’m especially glad I chose the teardrop style—it works perfectly for my setup. I’ve experimented with several of the suggested configurations and can see how the various options would accommodate different preferences and ergonomic needs. For me, this was an ideal choice. The overall design and construction appear to be high quality and durable. When used with socks, the surface is very comfortable, and the base grips the floor securely when in use. Overall, I believe this product offers great value for the price.
