The title of this book, The Train is Coming is based upon a 1965 single by the Impressions. The line people get ready there is a train a coming evokes the journey of Larry C. Rogers during the 70's, 80's, and 90's, traveling by subway throughout the New York City area. This poetry collection - inspired by the poet Langston Hughes - captures snapshots of urban life from subway platforms to the streets. The poems conjure powerful images of faith, worship, praise, personal struggles, and societal critique as reflected in the pieces such as Where There's Christ (a babe reborn a heart so new the transforming touch of love), Portrait of a Sad Young Man (rummaging through hoarded treasure chests), Spirit, (Bodies quaking), and These as the Last days (Dodge City has returned to television).
