Book Reviews of God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Beautiful poetry
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful work of poetry written by a man who has been forgotten so much over the years. The seven works are all based on the Bible, but please don't feel that you have go be deeply religious to enjoy and fall in love with this book. Mr. Johnson's use of language is so vivid, for instance, "darker than a hundred midnights down in a cypress swamp" from The Creation, that one just can't stop reading and loving the beautiful and lyrical words. Please read and enjoy.
