Description

Soul Feast is a companion anthology to Soul Food, offering up a further feast of thoughtful poems to stir the mind and feed the spirit, bringing hope and light in dark, uncertain times. This book’s inspiration – Soul Food – achieved its wide popularity by word of mouth.

For many thousands of readers feeling adrift in the early years of the 21st century, the poems in that book offered support and sustenance.

What followed has been even more destructive and disorientating: wars, pandemic, oppression, persecution of peoples and minorities, mass migration, dishonest government, financial meltdown, and looming environmental catastrophe. Yet amidst all this there are voices of hope and healing, of love and tolerance, kindness and compassion, sanity and solace, to be heard and felt in the poems of Soul Feast.

This new compilation shows how poetry can help sustain our search for meaning in times of spiritual starvation.

All these poems are universal illuminations of the meaning of life, speaking to readers of all faiths as well as to seekers and non-believers. Drawn from many traditions, Soul Feast includes work by poets ranging from Lal Ded and Tukaram to Pessoa, Borges, Cummings and Langston Hughes, as well as poems by celebrated contemporary poets such as Ellen Bass, Imtiaz Dharker, Jane Hirshfield and Naomi Shihab Nye.

This is a book to keep by the bedside or to keep with you when travelling.
