But God speaks through wombs, birthing prophetic utterances.... Enough of this unbelieving religion that masquerades as faith. Divine favor is placed on what we have disgraced.

In God Speaks Through Wombs, Drew Jackson explores the first eight chapters of Luke's Gospel in a new poetic register. These are declarative poems, faithfully proclaiming the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible". From the Magnificat ("That girl can sing!... She has a voice / That can shatter shackles") to the baptism of Christ ("I stepped in / Committing insurrection"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance - against all hope - that's been in the gospel all along.

I read this as @mochagirlsread's April BOTM. I will be honest and say that I bought this as an audiobook (because, poetry) with no other background on the work at all. I struggled through it until the light bulb went off! Pull out your Bible!

This book of poetry is a telling of the Gospel of Luke through the first 8 chapters. The poetry weaves the Scripture through a lens of that I as a black woman could fully relate to and imagine in ways that I didn't think about with the text alone. I love that there is a love of people and community through these words. This is a book that I will pick up again and also get into some of his other works.

Good listen
