Something I think British poet Malcolm Guite excels at is what Charlotte Mason termed as the Science of Relations, explained here by author Karen Glass. The ability to think about the connections that different things have with each other and see their relationships to one another. And unlike Mr. Portokalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you actually delight in following the connecting thoughts Malcolm Guite’s writings and presentations exhibit.
It was a wonderful evening of story and song and laughter. He’s very funny and so comfortable on stage that the time with him flew by too quickly. I have not been able to find a recording online from that evening, but you can listen to him read his poems on his website or look for past recordings of him on Youtube.
Welcome Back (I hope)!!!
I have come to know about him from other blog friends who live and study at Oxford (or who have in the past). I haven't read any of his books, yet. Lancia at The Cultivating Project talks about him a lot.
