with Martin Shaw.

The poet Malcolm Guite turned up at my door in a storm with a bottle of Jura. There was no power in the cottage so we sheltered by the fire and lit candles. The conversation spilled into the night and then the next day and night. This recording is a moment as we sat on the porch enjoying the songbirds and strong coffee. Erudite, charismatic and generous, the poet and priest opened up many doors. There aren’t many like him and we are very lucky to be around his work and ideas. I absolutely recommend Malcolm, he’s beautiful trouble.

P.S. It's around 30 not 1939 Lewis has the conversation with Tolkien Malcolm reminds me.
