Description
Roy McFarlane's second poetry collection, The Healing Next Time, is a powerful and timely exploration of institutional racism, deaths in custody, and personal identity. Set against the backdrop of Birmingham at the turn of the millennium, these interwoven sequences form a potent narrative that refuses to shy away from the harsh realities of prejudice and hatred.
Through lyrical and multidimensional poems, McFarlane gives voice to Black history and presence, as well as witness and activism. The book is a courageous and rageful cry for justice, marked by intricate lines that record injustice and name those who have lost their lives and dignity to prejudice. It also asks vital questions of the future and invites reflection on the power to change things.
With its unique blend of personal discovery, revelation, and resilience, The Healing Next Time is a remarkable book that draws on influences from Jazz and James Baldwin. This is a book that will challenge your perspective and leave you with much to think about.
