In this episode, we sit down for an in-depth conversation with celebrated poet, Cambridge scholar, and Anglican priest Malcolm Guite. The discussion centers on his ambitious four-part epic, Merlin's Isle: An Arthuriad, and its brilliant first installment, Galahad and the Grail. Discover how Guite masterfully bridges faith, theology, and the arts to retell the classic quest to heal the Fisher King and achieve the Holy Grail - revitalizing timeless Arthurian mythos for the modern world.
