Circuits: a lockdown poem by Malcolm Guite!


Brought to my attention by Sean Reilly of The Meath Writers' Circle, this is a poet worth a visit over to Youtube and Wikipedia to check out. From his own biographical notes ~ I am a poet, priest and academic and have published four volumes of poetry with Canterbury Press ~ . The video was loaded by The Poetry Archive Now! and was the Wordview 2020 entry. Born on the 12th of November 1957 in Nigeria he is a chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge and an associate chaplain of St. Edward King and Martyr in Cambridge. With thanks to Youtube and Wikipedia.

*The above is just a brief insight to a poet, guitarist and singer-songwriter who fronts a Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock band. 'Mystery Train". Counts as his influences, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and many, many of the great poets. Check out!
