God's Trombones

James Weldon Johnson's 'God's Trombones' is a poetic tribute to the powerful rhetorical traditions of African-American sermons.

The collection includes poems like 'The Creation', 'The Prodigal Son', and 'The Judgment Day', which reflect on biblical narratives and their resonance with African-American experiences.

Gregory Pardlo provides an introduction to this edition, highlighting the work's significance in the Harlem Renaissance.
