Poetry

Rice

By Nikky Finney

About this book

Nikky Finney uses rice as a way into family memory and Black Southern history. The poems bring food and domestic life into conversation with labor, inheritance, and the people whose knowledge shaped what was grown and served. Readers can follow how a familiar food gathers different meanings as the collection moves between private and historical subjects.
