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 returns with a new book of original poems, entitled DISTANT DRUMS! The collection represents the culmination of an over thirty-five-year poetry writing journey…conscious, inspirational, spiritual, love, and erotic poems-raw, explicit, uncensored. Featuring 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, La Boriqua, You Cannot Wear My Crown, and many more.
The book’s cover evokes memories of David’s days as a youth. Reminiscent of artistic designs of reggae albums of the ‘70s and’ 80s…like Journey To Addis, Uprising, The Harder They Come, and Man In The Hills, to name a few. Imagine Distant Drums lying on your coffee table, not just a book but also a visual work of art. It’s One Book You Can Judge By Its Cover!

In African culture and tradition, one of the ancient functions of The Drums was to send messages, sometimes across great Distances. Today, drums still hold profound, spiritual, and venerable importance in the African way of life-on the continent and the diaspora. It is within this Ancient Tradition that David presents this book of Messages. Distant Drums!
