Malcolm Guite on Imagination, Lifting the Veil and Merlin's Isle

Описание: ‪@CalebWoodbridge‬ sits down with poet, priest, and scholar ‪@MalcolmGuitespell‬ to explore how imagination lifts the veil on seeing reality rightly.

Dr Guite is also soon to release Galahad and the Grail, the first book in Merlin’s Isle, his epic poetic retelling of the story of King Arthur. We got into all sorts of interesting topics from dinosaurs to Doctor Who to dragons. So listen in and let me know what you think in the comments!
