Following the success of her first book on R. S. Thomas, Carys Walsh invites readers to experience Lent through the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins—one of English literature’s most celebrated religious poets.

Hopkins’ vivid, inventive language and profound spiritual insight make him a powerful companion for the Lenten season. His poetry captures both human frailty and divine presence, drawing us into the beauty of creation and the journey of Christ toward the Passion.

With daily reflections on Hopkins’ rich imagery and rhythmic brilliance, this book offers a fresh way to deepen reflection, devotion, and discovery throughout Lent.

Includes 41 reflections based on Hopkins' poetry - one for each day of Lent (excluding Sundays).

Please note the reflections do not have questions included for group use.
