God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse
by James Weldon Johnson
Known as one of the most influential figures during the Harlem Renaissance and the writer of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” James Weldon Johnson is perhaps best known for his poetry collection, God’s Trombones. In this critically acclaimed collection, Johnson paints the Christian and African-American experience in seven prolific and emotion-filled sermons. “The Crucifixion,” “The Prodigal Son,” and “Go Down Death” have been arguably noted as three of the most moving and powerful poems ever penned.
