Distant Drums: The Poetic Writings of David L. Weeks

Our gift of creativity and mastery of the written and spoken word binds Us by duty to share with the world what GOD inspires in Us.

After an overlong hiatus, David L. Weeks has returned with a new book of original poetry, entitled DISTANT DRUMS! This collection spans his over thirty-five-year writing career and represents the culmination of a poetry writing journey.

Unlike his first book, David leaves everything on the table. Conscious poems, inspirational poems, spiritual poems, love poems, erotic poems--raw, explicit, unfiltered, uncensored. The book features never-before-shared poems like, Bring Back The Old Days, Make Love To You, When The Sun Sets...And fan favorites such as Jazz, Back To The Still Waters, Purple, Light Your Fire, Feel My Nature Rise, Ébano Latina, You Cannot Wear My Crown and many more.

When we said David left everything on the table, there was no exception concerning the design of the book's cover. His goal and vision were to evoke, through artistry, memories of his days as a youth growing up in the Virgin Islands. And reminisce on the artistic designs of many of the reggae albums of the '70s and '80s. Albums like Journey To Addis, Uprising, The Harder They Come, and Man In The Hills, to name a few.

To bring his vision to reality, David turned to his best friend, artist, and illustrator, Wesley Richards, to design the cover for his book. Imagine "Distant Drums" lying on your coffee table, not just a book, but also a visual work of art...a poster on your wall, a t-shirt on your chest.

Distant Drums. This Is One Book; You Can Judge By Its Cover!
