Glory in the Margins by Nikki Grimes.
New York
Times bestselling author and poet Nikki Grimes explains, "A study of
scripture reveals that Jesus spent a lot of time with people in the margins. As
an African American, I live in the margins, and I can tell you that it's a
place most of us would rather not be. And yet, I know there is always glory to
be found in the margins because of the Lord's presence in, and with us. As Poet
Laureate of my Grace Brethren Church in Southern California, it's my job to
distill the heart of the weekly sermon into a poem. I dive into each week's
chosen scripture, viewing it from my own perspective as Black, as woman, as
poet, always a little left of center, and looking for the glory to be found in
the margins of life, and of the text. Of course, those of us who live in the
margins are not what anyone expects, and the very notion that God might speak
through us, through me, may seem a bit wild. But he does.”
