Malcolm Guite's Long-Awaited Epic Poem, Merlin's Isle

Malcolm Guite may be the closest thing to Bilbo Baggins that Christian poetry offers. He has numerous volumes of poetry and spiritual writing on offer, including Sounding the Seasons, Heaven in Ordinary, and The Word in the Wilderness. Last month, we announced that Guite's long-awaited Arthuriad, Merlin's Isle will be published by Rabbit Room Press in several volumes over the coming years.

Guite also has a thriving YouTube channel in which he invites guests to step into his study to share a pipe and thoughts from his latest projects. In the video above, Guite pulls back the curtain on Merlin's Isle with characteristic Hobbit-y charm.
