{"product_id":"waiting-on-the-word-9781848258006","title":"Waiting on the Word","description":"Advent is a season of waiting and anticipation in which the waiting itself is strangely rich and fulfilling. Poetry can help us fathom the depths of Advent's many paradoxes: dark and light, emptiness and fulfilment, ancient and ever new. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor every day from Advent Sunday to Christmas Day and beyond, the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses a favourite poem from across the Christian spiritual and English literary traditions and offers incisive seasonal reflections on it. In the spirit of the season, he blends the familiar and the new, ranging from from spiritual classics such as Edmund Spenser, John Donne, George Herbert and Christina Rossetti, to contemporary voices Luci Shaw and Scott Cairns. His own acclaimed sequence of sonnets for the great Advent antiphons are also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Guite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canterbury Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848258006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuite, Malcolm:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Malcolm Guite is Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge.
