In Rice, her second volume of poetry, Nikky Finney explores the complexity of rice as central to the culture, economy, and mystique of the coastal South Carolina region where she was born and raised. The prized Carolina Gold rice paradoxically made South Carolina one of the most oppressive states for slaves and also created the remarkable Gullah culture on the coastal islands. The poems in Rice compose a profound and unflinching journey connecting family and the paradoxes of American history, from the tragic times when African slaves disembarked on the South Carolina coast to the triumphant day when Judge Ernest A. Finney Jr., Nikkys father, was sworn in as South Carolinas first African American chief justice. Images from the Finney family archive illustrate and punctuate this collection. Rice showcases Finneys hungry intellect, her regional awareness and pride, and her sensitivity to how cultures are built and threatened.
