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 now available. ‘Seeds Of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ has contributions 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 forced the world into lockdown, we began to post daily ‘Seeds of Hope’ on our Facebook and Instagram pages. The thoughts, reflections and poems in the book are drawn mainly from these posts. We have also included stories from our partners around the world and playlists of the songs that have accompanied us in and out of lockdown.

Broken down into chapters including Her, Home, Planet, Solidarity and Walk, Seeds Of Hope has something for everyone. We hope that as you read this book you will feel inspired, angered, determined and hopeful. 

‘Seeds of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ was edited by Harvey Jessop and Chris Rose and designed by Nick Welsh at Amos Trust.
