Gerard Manley Hopkins is one of English literature’s most celebrated religious poets and a powerful companion through the Lenten season. In this beautifully crafted devotional, Carys Walsh invites readers on a journey of reflection and renewal, guided by Hopkins’ vivid imagery, inventive language and deep theological insight.
As Lent draws us towards the cross and the hope of Easter, these meditations offer a fresh way to deepen reflection, devotion and spiritual discovery. Whether you are new to Hopkins or a long-time admirer, Dappled Beauty opens a poetic and prayerful path through the season, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day.
"Like light through a prism, a whole spectrum of possible meanings streams through Manley Hopkins’s poems. He rewards his disruptions of our language by giving us perceptions we never dreamed of. Carys Walsh is attuned to this startling adventure, and guides us with insight and a lightness of touch." -- Mark Oakley
