Poetry has always been a central element of Christian spirituality and
is used in worship, in pastoral services and guided meditation. In
Sounding the Seasons, Cambridge poet and priest Malcolm Guite transforms
seventy lectionary readings into lucid, inspiring poems, for use in
regular worship, seasonal services, meditative reading or on retreat.
This second edition includes further sonnets for the Christian year
written since the original edition, including a sequence of 19 sonnets
on the resurrection appearances recorded in scripture. Immediate,
striking, simple yet profound, Malcolm Guite’s poetry resonates deeply
and widely across the churches of all traditions throughout the English
speaking world.
Malcolm Guite is a renowned performance
poet and singer/songwriter, and Life Fellow of Girton College,
Cambridge. He is in incessant demand as a speaker and lecturer and in
Britain and the US.
