Reviews'I welcome this rich contribution to the growing revival of poetry for the Christian Calendar. Steven Shakespeare's deft and mellifluous poetry is in touch not only with the riches of Christian scripture and liturgy but also with the earlier creation spirituality of these islands.... This will be an excellent resource for any church whose liturgy follows the pattern of the Christian year.'

SynopsisReminiscent of Malcolm Guite's bestselling Sounding the Seasons, this beautiful collection offers scripture-inspired poems for each of the major seasons of the Christian year. It includes: - The Call to Prayer (with poetry on the nature of prayer); - Advent, Christmas and Epiphany; - Lent, Easter and Pentecost (including Wings of Wounded Glory, a sequence for Holy Week); - Transforming Ordinary Time (including some feasts which fall outside the major seasons); - In the School of Mary (poetic reflections on Mary, see as a model for prayer, contemplation and prophecy). An introduction considers the relationship between prayer and poetry and offers suggestions for using the book in public and private worship settings, and a closing sequence contemplates Mary as a figure of prayers and witness., Reminiscent of Malcolm Guite's bestselling Sounding the Seasons, this beautiful collection offers scripture-inspired poems for each of the major seasons of the Christian year.
