Explora Books is proud to announce it will be presenting Marcus Burrell’s collection, One God: A Book of Poetry, at the London Book Fair from March 10–12, 2026, at the Olympia London. Most people spend their lives looking for a single moment of clarity; for Burrell, that clarity arrived nearly thirty years ago as a direct instruction to put pen to paper. Now, his work is crossing the Atlantic to meet a global audience in Hammersmith.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Mar 2026 – Unlike typical religious texts that rely on dense theology, One God reads like a series of private conversations. It is a collection born from three decades of observation, much of it shaped by Burrell’s time serving under the leadership of Bishop T. D. Jakes at The Potter’s House and Dr. Tony Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. However, the poems aren’t just echoes of sermons; they are raw, artistic expressions of what happens when a person stops running and starts looking at the truth in plain sight.

The book treats “truth” as something that doesn’t need a formal introduction. Burrell, a visual communicator by trade, uses his background in design to craft imagery that feels both classic and immediate. He suggests that truth exists in its original state—working quietly in the background of our lives until we are ready to see it.

“I would have never guessed that my gift as an artist would be placed on hold to serve this purpose,” Burrell says, reflecting on a journey that began with a degree from the Art Institute of Dallas in 1989. For him, the poetry is less about literary prestige and more about a “theatrical revelation.” It is a style he has honed through open mic nights, juvenile detention centers, and church conferences, proving that these verses are meant to be heard and felt, not just sat on a shelf.

Visitors to the London Book Fair will find a work that prioritizes the “uncommon experience.” By stripping away cliches, Burrell focuses on the “breath-taking joy” of a life lived with intention. With a second volume already available and an audiobook version bringing his rhythmic delivery to life, Burrell’s presence at the Olympia London marks a significant milestone for an author dedicated to showing, rather than just telling, the nature of his faith.

Attendees can find One God: A Book of Poetry at the Explora Books booth throughout the event.
