History remembers events. Poetry remembers souls.
In the Beginning: Broken Chronicles, Living Poetics is a powerful collection of contemporary poetry that blends spoken word, literary poetry, biblical imagery, and prophetic reflection into an unforgettable reading experience. Through vivid language and fearless imagination, Winston Cobb explores themes of faith, race, identity, justice, suffering, hope, memory, and redemption, inviting readers to confront difficult questions while discovering enduring truths.
Inspired by Scripture, history, music, and the rhythms of the spoken-word tradition, these poems journey from Genesis to Revelation, from personal lament to collective memory, and from brokenness toward restoration. Pieces such as Tablets for the Last Bloodlines and Boarding Pass to Babylon challenge readers to examine the human condition through a lens of compassion, conviction, and spiritual insight.
Ideal for readers of literary poetry, Christian poetry, spoken-word performance, theology, and social reflection, this collection speaks to anyone seeking beauty, meaning, and hope in a fractured world. Whether read devotionally, studied academically, or experienced aloud, In the Beginning: Broken Chronicles, Living Poetics offers a timeless meditation on humanity's shared story-one that refuses to ignore the past while pointing toward redemption.
Open these pages. Read the witness. Become part of the chronicle.
