While much has been written about spiritual poetry, few acknowledge the profound influence of Black poets on Britain’s spiritual landscape. Hurricanes Roar illuminates this often-overlooked legacy, weaving together thirty powerful poems that span continents and centuries. Drawing from a rich tradition that includes Ancient Ethiopian verse, African American spirituals, gospel songs, and the words of poets like Olaudah Equiano, Phillis Wheatley, Cordelia Ray, Martin Luther King Jr. and Linton Kwesi Johnson, this collection invites deep reflection. It not only celebrates the depth and diversity of Black voices in British spirituality but also challenges readers to consider the role of faith in the ongoing call for racial justice. Perfect for Black History Month, Advent, Lent, or any season of thoughtful engagement, Hurricanes Roar pairs each poem with a reflective commentary, offering a powerful resource for those seeking to explore the intersections of poetry, faith, and justice.
