Since the publication of the bestselling Sounding the Seasons, Malcolm Guite has repeatedly been asked for more sonnets.

This new collection offers a sequence of new 50 sonnets that focus on many passages in the Gospels: the Beatitudes, parables and miracles, teachings on the Kingdom, and the 'hard sayings' - Jesus' challenging demands with which we wrestle. In addition, this collection includes:

* A sequence of seven sonnets on the theme of wilderness, exploring those mysterious stories of divine encounter such as Jacob's wrestling with the angel.

* Fourteen poems exploring the contemporary meaning of the heavens.

* An additional twenty new poems arising out of priestly ministry that can be used at baptisms, wedding and funerals.
