"Clare’s account of the turn of the year in The Shepherd’s Calendar is as much about the life of ordinary labourers in the fields as it is about nature herself."

Malcolm Guite embodies the contemporary-day Christian poet: deeply rooted in subculture, open to the complexities of religion and doubt, and devoted to creating poetry handy and sizable for cutting-edge audiences.

A dark, star-speckled background displays the full text of Malcolm Guite’s poem “Ash Wednesday” in centered white serif type. The poem reads: “Ash Wednesday. Receive this cross of ash upon your brow / Brought from the burning of Palm Sunday's cross; / The forests of the world are burning now / And you make late repentance for the loss. / But all the trees of God would clap their hands, / The very stones themselves would shout and sing, / If you could covenant to love these lands / And recognize in Christ their lord and king. / He sees the slow destruction of those trees, / He weeps to see the ancient places burn, / And still you make what purchases you please / And still to dust and ashes you return. / But Hope could rise from ashes even now / Beginning with this sign upon your brow.” The author’s name, Malcolm Guite, appears at the bottom.

"At some point in their lives, perhaps in some stark, lightless January of their middle years, the question must occur to every poet: Why am I doing this? What is the point?"
The question ‘Why write poetry?’ is a crucial one, says @malcolmguite.bsky.social ✍️

"They have to find a reason for writing which is intrinsic to the poetry itself, and does not depend on 'success' as the world measures it."

Of Courtesy, it is much less
Than Courage of Heart or Holiness,
Yet in my Walks it seems to me
That the Grace of God is in Courtesy.

... Whilst Herod rages still from his dark tower
Christ clings to Mary, fingers tightly curled,
The lambs are slaughtered by the men of power,
And death squads spread their curse across the world.
But every Herod dies, and comes alone
To stand before the Lamb upon the throne.

‘I wasn’t sure where the poem would take me, but it turned out to be a reflection not on Arthur, but on the present ecological crisis, and on Romans 8.19 and 20’
Malcolm Guite recalls a return visit to Glastonbury, where he climbed the Tor

… the chapter Many Partings. So this video then, it is highly recommended to you - not only because of the aforementioned reasons but for Guite‘s brilliant performance as well.

The ordinary saints, the ones we know,
Our too-familiar family and friends,
When shall we see them? Who can truly show
Whilst still rough-hewn, the God who shapes our ends?
Who will unveil the presence, glimpse the gold...

So I give thanks for our deep coinherence
Inwoven in the web of God’s own grace,
Pulling us through the grave and gate of death.
I thank him for the truth behind appearance,
I thank him for his light in every face,
I thank him for you all, with every breath.

Tale 6 of #TheLostTalesOfSirGalahad by #MalcolmGuite is pure literary indulgence, excellently read by Simon Vance
Don't skip to it though as it's all good - the intro had me laughing out loud on a dog walk
