An Epic for our Times with Malcolm Guite in Nashville, TN

The Trinity Forum is delighted to welcome to Nashville the poet, Anglican priest, and scholar, Malcolm Guite. Malcolm draws upon Merlin’s Isle: An Arthuriad, his forthcoming epic poem (Rabbit Room Press) on the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. He describes his purpose: 

“To ‘slip past the watchful dragons’ of secularism and awaken again in the modern world that openness to beauty and mystery which prepares the heart for the coming of Christ. My aim is to make a poem that restores the spiritual elements that have been shorn away and renews their deepest meaning.”

With this work, Malcolm brings into the 21st century a tradition of epic storytelling that includes Lewis, Tolkien, Milton and many others. 

Presented in partnership with Montgomery Bell Academy and St. Paul Christian Academy.
