- Notes
- "I would like to thank you for your full-page article on the Rev. Malcolm Guite, priest and poet, in your February 2020 issue ('Something Understood', Feb. 2020, p. 3). I've enjoyed a live concert featuring Rev. Guite and Canadian singer-songwriter Steve Bell, and was thrilled to have Rev. Guite autograph my copy of his book 'Sounding the Seasons'. This book has inspired me for some years now. I use it on an ongoing basis on our parish blog; most recently, I read 'Candlemas' to the congregation at its Morning Prayer service (Feb. 2). Moreover, as a textile artist, it inspired my piece entitled 'Incarnation to Resurrection: Reflections on the Colours of the Church Year', which was juried into an international art quilt exhibition, sponsored by Studio Art Quilt Association (SAQA), that is touring through 2021. Currently in Europe, it returns to North American to be shown at a variety of US venues later this summer. Prayer in poetry .. and poetry as prayer .. commingled with music and inspiring art: ancient, yet ever new ways of expressing our faith". [Text of entire article.]
