The Heart’s Time: A Poem a Day for Lent and Easter

Packed with riches yet highly accessible, The Heart’s Time is at its core a series of short, resonant poems for each weekday of Lent and Easter.

It will appeal to existing poetry lovers as well as those who want to start exploring how poems can be a resource for our spiritual lives, whether or not they are written with a consciously Christian intent.

Poets often address subjects our culture seeks to avoid, and poetry demands that we ‘slow down to the heart’s time’ in order to discover deeper levels of meaning than at first appear.

Janet Morley offers her own skilful and reflective commentaries on a fascinating themed sequence of both familiar and unexpected poems, including works by Margaret Atwood, St Augustine, Charles Causley, E. E. Cummings, Emily Dickinson, Carol Ann Duffy, Ruth Fainlight, U. A. Fanthorpe, Robert Frost, Seamus Heaney, George Herbert, Elizabeth Jennings, Denise Levertov, Roger McGough, Adrienne Rich, Christina Rossetti, R. S. Thomas and Rowan Williams.
