520    "A stunning, all-new collection of prayers, poetry, and 
       spiritual practice centering the Black interior world, 
       from the New York Times bestselling author of This Here 
       Flesh and creator of Black Liturgies. In the summer of 
       2020, Cole Arthur Riley was desperate for a spirituality 
       she could trust. Amidst ongoing national racial violence, 
       the isolation of the pandemic, and a surge of anti-Black 
       rhetoric in many Christian spaces, she began dreaming of a
       harbor for a more human, more liberating expression of 
       faith. She went on to create Black Liturgies, a digital 
       project that connects spiritual practice with Black 
       emotion, memory, and the Black body. In this book, she 
       deepens the work of that project, bringing together new 
       prayers, letters, poetry, meditation questions, breath 
       practice, and the writings of Black literary ancestors to 
       offer 43 liturgies that can be practiced individually or 
       as a community. With a poet's touch and a sensitivity that
       has made her one of the most important spiritual voices at
       work today, Riley invites readers to reflect on their own 
       experiences of wonder, rest, rage, and repair, while also 
       including liturgies for holidays like Lent, Advent, 
       Juneteenth, and Mother's Day. For those healing from 
       spiritual spaces that were more violent than loving; for 
       those who have escaped the trauma of white Christian 
       nationalism, religious homophobia, and transphobia; for 
       anyone asking what it means to be human in a world of both
       beauty and terror; Black Liturgies is a work of healing 
       and liberation, and a vision for what might be"--
