Love, Remember
The bestselling poet Malcolm Guite chooses forty poems from across the centuries that express the universal experience of loss and reflects on them in order to draw out the comfort, understanding and hope they offer.

They explore the nature and the risk of love, the pain of letting go and look toward glimpses of resurrection.
