Sounding the Seasons
Sounding the Seasons: Poetry for the Christian Year | Malcolm Guite
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A resource for worship throughout the Christian year, the Cambridge priest, author, poet and singer/songwriter Malcolm Guite has transposed seventy readings from the lectionary into lucid, inspiring poems that can be incorporated into regular worship and seasonal services, read meditatively or used creatively on retreats and quiet days. Already widely recognised, Malcolm's writing has been acclaimed by Rowan Williams and Luci Shaw, two leading contemporary religious poets. Seven Advent poems from this collection will appear in the next edition of Penguin's (US) Best Spiritual Writing edited by Philip Zaleski, alongside the work of writers such as Seamus Heaney and Annie Dillard. A selection of Holy Week and Easter poems appeared in the Easter issue of the Church Times this year.

Sounding the Seasons: Poetry for the Christian Year | Malcolm Guite

Pickpick

This is the second book of poetry I‘ve read by Malcolm Guite—I discovered his poetry in 2020, through a series of sonnets he wrote on the Psalms, which spoke to me so deeply during that time. This collection is likewise full of well-crafted sonnets, these corresponding to the liturgical calendar. There is a series for the Stations of the Cross and one for Advent that were particularly meaningful to me. I‘ll be going back to these again and again.

Purpleness You‘ve sent me down a rabbit trail looking up his poems! I can see I‘m going to have order at least one of his collections. 1y
BarbaraJean @Purpleness 💜 I just love his work! The tagged book is the series on the Psalms that I mentioned. SO good. If you haven't already discovered his blog, take a look: https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/blog/ He usually posts poems applicable to the day/church season/etc., along with recordings of him reading the poems. I've found it a delight to follow!

Now to the gate of my Jerusalem,
The seething holy city of my heart,
The Saviour comes. But will I welcome him?

…Jesus, come
Break my resistance and make me your home.

(Listen to this sonnet read by the poet here: https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2023/04/02/palm-sunday-a-sonnet-8/)
