Take Up the Tale: Bringing the Epic Tradition Into Our Time, with Malcolm Guite

The Trinity Forum and Rabbit Room invite you to join us in Washington DC on March 23 for a special Evening Conversation with Malcolm Guite.

Together we will celebrate the publication that day of Galahad and the Grail, the first volume of his epic poem, Merlin’s Isle: An Arthuriad, published by Rabbit Room Press.

A poet, Anglican priest, and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow, Malcolm will describe his vision in creating this epic ballad, a poetic retelling of the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. With beautiful woodcut illustrations by Stephen Crotts, Malcolm’s book renews in our time the ancient tradition of epic storytelling.

Malcolm’s ambitious aim is to “awaken again in the modern world that openness to beauty and mystery which prepares the heart for the coming of Christ.” As he has said:

“I’m trying to lift the veil to see; not so much to re-enchant, but to un-disenchant the world, to help us see what is already there.”

Join us Monday evening, March 23, 2026 in Washington, D.C. for an Evening Conversation with Malcolm Guite.
