We’re pleased to share a session led by Malcolm Guite and Mark Meynell called “Poetry: Imagination’s Wake-Up Call” from 2020’s Hutchmoot: Homebound, in both video and audio form.

Despite its detractors, poetry couldn’t be more vital in our present age, since it is one of the most powerful means of reconciling our enlightenment-divorced reason and imagination. In conversation with Mark Meynell, the poet, priest, and scholar Malcolm Guite draws from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, C. S. Lewis, and others to make his case.
