Malcolm Guite: "Camelot Against Barbarism"

from Words Do Things · host Sørina Higgins

Please welcome my friend & hero, “the world’s least likely influencer”; poet, priest, rock-n-roller; the #1 best-selling poet in the world: Malcolm Guite! In his inimitable, inspiring fashion, the Rev. Dr. tells tales to delight the mind and the ear, praising the beauties of rhyme and meter, eschewing irony. He rhapsodizes about Tolkien’s prophetic power and genuine magic to speak worlds into being. As a special gift to listeners, he reads the entirety of his evocative--and invocational--poem “Spell.” Order Galahad and the Grail here—once they print more copies!  Follow Malcolm’s YouTube channel, “A Spell in the Library.”  Here’s his website.
