Raising King is described as "a groundbreaking poetry collection that helps to rescue the radically compassionate legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." by Peniel Joseph, author of The Sword and the Shield: Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.
"At their best, Ross’s poems raise King’s soul and spirit to give us the sustenance of hope that America sorely needs now," says Philip C. Kolin in his review of Raising King on the Christian Century website. "Raising King is a major achievement. It’s a capstone history of the civil rights movement, a protest march in poems, and an elegy that honors King and all the other martyrs who fought to save the soul of America." You can pick up your own copy of the book here. Mr. Ross is the author of three other books of poetry: Ache (2017), Gospel of Dust (2013) and Meeting Bone Man (2012).
Congratulations, Mr. Ross!
