A profound collection of poetry exploring faith, loss, and the human condition from the acclaimed Rowan Williams, featuring new works and translations.
Collected Poems gathers the previously published poetry of Rowan Williams alongside a significant body of new work, including celebrated translations from Welsh, German, and Russian. Williams' poems vividly respond to the visual arts, the experience of pre-modern cultures, and the crises of our time. His work reflects on the landscapes of West Wales and explores love through Shakespeare's plays.
This collection adds a sequence commissioned for the Aberfan disaster's anniversary, tributes to Alan Garner and John Milton, and reflections on Antony Gormley's sculptures. Williams reads the signs manifest in nature and history with uncanny clarity. This book is for readers seeking profound reflections on life, spirituality, and the power of language. Experience imagination working through language, bringing us as close as we can get to our condition.
