This major new poetry collection from bestselling poet and priest
Malcolm Guite features more than seventy new and previously
unpublished works. At the heart of this collection is a sequence of
twenty seven sonnets written in response to George Herbert's
exquisite sonnet 'Prayer', each one describing prayer in an
arresting metaphor such as 'the church's banquet', 'reversed
thunder', 'the Milky Way', 'the bird of paradise' and 'something
understood'. In conversation with each of these, Malcolm's sonnets
offer profound insights into the nature of communion with God in
all circumstances and conditions. Recognising that all poetry is a
pursuit of prayer, After Prayer also includes forty five more
widely ranging new poems, including a sonnet sequence on the seven
heavens.
