About This Event

Join us as Carys Walsh invites readers to experience Lent through the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Gerard Manley 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.

Carys Walsh will reflect on Hopkins’ rich imagery and rhythmic brilliance, and offer a fresh way to deepen reflection, devotion, and discovery throughout Lent.

The Revd Dr Carys Walsh writes about poetry and spirituality and has been involved in discernment and formation for Anglican ministry for many years. She is a priest in South London and the author of Frequencies of God (about the poetry of RS Thomas) and Dappled Beauty (about the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins).

The event is free, but if you are able to make a donation to the continuing learning programme at St Paul’s Cathedral when you register for the event we would be very grateful.
