Parable and Paradox by Malcolm Guite
Since the publication of the bestselling Sounding the Seasons, Malcolm Guite has repeatedly been asked for more sonnets. This new collection offers a sequence of 50 sonnets that focus on many passages in the Gospels: the Beatitudes, parables and miracles, teachings on the Kingdom, and the ‘hard sayings’ - Jesus’ challenging demands with which we wrestle. In addition this collection includes: • A sequence of five sonnets on 'The Wilderness', exploring mysterious stories of divine encounter such as Jacob’s wrestling with the angel. • Poetic reflections on music, hospitality and ecology. • Seven short poems celebrating the days of creation. • A biblical index pairing the poems with scripture readings for use in worship.
MALCOLM GUITE is Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge. A performance poet and singer-songwriter, he lectures widely on poetry and theology in Britain and in North America. His poetry and faith blog: www.malcolmguite.wordpress.com receives many thousands of visits every week. He is a contributor to Reflections for Daily Prayer and the author Faith, Hope and Poetry (Ashgate).
