“Hurricanes Roar Poetry: Celebrating Black Poetry in Western Spirituality”
This series aims to shine a light on the integral role of Black poetic voices in the development of western, and particularly British, spirituality. It will reflect on the evolution of a culture that has Grime artists releasing worship songs and gospel choirs in royal weddings and coronations. These events invite prominent poetic and theological voices to reflect on their own work and on the art that has inspired them, through a mixture of readings, interviews and Q+A.
