Seeds of Hope
Our second collection of creative writing

What a wonderful collection of writing — rich, deep, broad, funny, touching, angry, and, most importantly, encouraging. Brian Eno — producer, musician, writer and artist

Our second book of poetry, prose, creative writing and reflection is out now. ‘Seeds of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ features writing from Zena Kazeme, Arundhati Roy, Ben Okri, Cornel West, Angela Davis, Robert Cohen, Maya Angelou and our partner Abdelfattah Abusrour.

In March 2020, as coronavirus sent the world into lockdown, we began posting a daily ‘Seed of Hope’ on Facebook and Instagram. Most of the thoughts, reflections and poems in this book grew from those posts. Alongside them are stories from our partners around the world and playlists of the songs that carried us in and out of lockdown.

With chapters including Her, Home, Planet, Solidarity and Walk, there’s something here for everyone. We hope it leaves you inspired, angered, determined and hopeful.
