From Wasteland to Grail: Stories that Shape Our Lives, with Malcolm Guite
About this episode
Malcolm Guite discusses his new book and the inspiration behind his poetry.
In March, we welcomed Malcolm Guite for an in-person event to celebrate his new book, Galahad and the Grail , which is the first in his Merlin’s Isle trilogy published through Rabbit Room Press. While he was with us, Malcolm sat for this podcast interview in which he described his vision in creating this epic ballad, along with offering a deep exploration of what brought him to poetry in the first place. Since the book’s release, Galahad and the Grail has topped bestselling charts and received numerous accolades, demonstrating that its ancient stories find renewal in our modern era.
