by **Malcolm Guite** (Author)

Since the publication of the bestselling Sounding the Seasons, Malcolm Guite has repeatedly been asked for more sonnets.

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.
