The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems

A richly woven tapestry of verse, this collection re‑examines the legendary court of King Arthur through fresh, lyrical eyes. In the opening poem, Guinevere’s voice breaks from shame and fear, pleading for forgiveness while confronting the weight of honor and the stark choices of life and death. The language swirls with vivid images of wind‑tossed rivers, heavenly and infernal cloths, and the raw intensity of a woman who refuses to shrink from her truth.

The remaining poems echo the same blend of mythic grandeur and intimate reflection, moving from the triumphs of knights to the quiet cycles of seasons that mirror inner turmoil. Themes of faith, destiny, and the fragile balance between power and compassion unfold in a rhythm that feels both ancient and strikingly contemporary. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a world where legend and personal confession intertwine, inviting contemplation of courage, love, and the timeless quest for redemption.
