Malcolm Guite

Thanks for the shoutout

If you didn't know - @malcolmguite is writing his own four volume spin on the epic Arthurian legend -- in beautiful ballad form. The pre-order for volume one is open now! Releases in Spring 2026.

“Amid the pub’s conviviality, I remember my mortality and I look forward to the resurrection and the banquet of heaven.” @malcolmguite plough.com/en/topics/life…

And quickened you  with love’s own sway and swing, As light and lovely as the news you bring. Mary Magdalene: A Sonnet malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2025/07/22/mar…

a hidden door, Into a garden where the fountain sealed, Could flow at last for him in healing tears, Till, in another garden, he revealed The perfect Love that cast out all your fears, Mary Magdalene: A Sonnet malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2025/07/22/mar…

But one man set you free and took your part One man knew and loved you to the core The broken alabaster of your heart Revealed to Him alone a hidden door, Mary Magdalene: A Sonnet malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2025/07/22/mar…

Men called you light so as to load you down, And burden you with their own weight of sin, A woman forced to  cover and contain Those seven devils sent by Everyman. Mary Magdalene: A Sonnet malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2025/07/22/mar…

tonight's spell in the library comes from Tintagel and includes the Cover Reveal for the first volume of Merlin's isle, my forthcoming Arthurian epic! youtu.be/zu5RBJ4Dj5s

The collectors edition with prints is limited. Don’t miss out my friends!

An essential reminder of the absolute human form of the divine Son of God. Also a timely reminder of the part a woman played in the crucifixion story. The image shows Nature cabined, cribbed and confined by the will of humanity while a riot of ribbons give delicious shade.

Some very kind words by @malcolmguite in a recent article for @ChurchTimes about our theological conference on 'Restoring the Image: Creation, Salvation, and the Human Person' ⬇️⬇️

What does it mean to say that humans are made in the image of God, asks @malcolmguite churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2025/…

So glad to see @malcolmguite's first of his 4-volume Arthurian cycle is available for preorder. Many of us have been following its progress and looks like it's getting the treatment it deserves; can't wait to crack it open next spring. Pre-order here: store.rabbitroom.com/products/merli…

Looking forward to this, Malcolm, and the illustrations look really absolutely stunning too. [NB we often read a poem of yours together towards the end of our parish prayer group - everyone appreciates them, so many thanks!]
