Malcolm Guite's eagerly awaited second poetry collection The Singing Bowl takes its name from the breathtakingly beautiful opening poem, a sonnet which connects poetry and prayer.

It includes poems that seek beauty and transfiguration in contemporary life; sonnets inspired by Francis and other outstanding saints; poems centred on love (which might be used at weddings), others on parting and mortality (which might be used at funerals). A further group, "Word and World," searches for the life of the spirit in the midst of the modern era and includes an ode to an iPhone, while others wrestle with the problem of evil and the difficulty of prayer.

Throughout, the poet seeks to celebrate the world of which he is made, find heaven in the ordinary and also a little of its music.
