Amen. A beautiful word of Peace, Shalom, and healing for the world of criticism and commentary. O Lord, may this tone and posture inform the work of cultural and literary analysis done in academic journals. Use cultural commentators and critics to partner with your Spirit, and to renew the face of the earth.
Very beautiful. Sounds like the muse from Milton's Paradise Lost mixed with the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. How often do we stop and pray before we write? And before we use language, period? Beautifully done. Thanks so sharing this.

I found this to be one of the most inspiring liturgies in Volume III. So beautiful.
LOVE this. As a writer, I kept saying Amen. Thanks, Malcolm.
Amen
Amen.

Love this part especially:
"I ask, when I have finished
writing, that all I have said, or tried to
say,
may gesture at last beyond itself towards
you"
Amen. Thank you for sharing!
Your poem reminded me of a rather briefer one I put out recently, as a note:
In the beginning was the word
and the word was made flesh
and the flesh made poems
that lived among us.
I have the first volume of Every Moment Holy and it is a favorite! Can't wait to get the rest.
Amen!
Yes, the word: In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. The word as creator of things and maker of poetry.
I've heard of Guite before. He is a good poet and this piece here I like and read with joy. Thanks for sharing it. Good read!
How beautiful!
Good
