"If Shakespeare and David had met, Psalms as Sonnets might have been the result. The poetic meter that mimics the human heartbeat, combined with the writings of the man who pursued the very heart of God, will touch your heart again and again and again." —Mark Stuart Two-time Grammy-winning artist "An anointed work that will touch the core of every person’s inner heart. I have never read the Psalms with such delight." —David L. Cook, Ph. D. Author of Seven Days in Utopia "A fantastic work that allows us to meet the Psalms again as though for the first time. A delightful, fresh expression that remains true to the original intent." —Craig A. Smith, Ph.D. Lead Pastor, Mission Hills Church "A breathtakingly beautiful way to breathe in Scripture." —Danny Oertli Singer | Songwriter | Author "An incredible literary achievement. A must-read for the lover of Psalms." —Darrell Scott Co-founder of Rachel’s Challenge "A beautiful expression of the Psalms that captures the essence of history’s most authentic and vulnerably written work of art." —Reza Zadeh Chaplain for the Denver Broncos

As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.

If you love the Psalms and you like English-language poetry, then this is the book for you. Even if you have never read the Psalms, or you thought you didn’t like poetry, this may be the book for you! These are the first forty-one psalms, paraphrased into the sonnet form favored by the greatest poets to write in the English language. The author is a fresh voice in American poetry, published previously only in various small magazines. This is his first book, and these sonnets have never before been in print. These poems are not dry theology or old-fashioned academic writing, but living language. They are engaging and up-to-date, without detracting from the majesty of the originals. While the author is a committed Christian, it is his hope that this little book will appeal to Jews, adherents of other religions, and non-religious people as well.

These are psalms in the sonnet form--life's sonnets. They are about loss, hope, and Christ. They speak to the human condition, which Christ knew and addressed. They try to contemplate the Bible. They speak the messages of abandonment, finding, gratitude, searching, temptation, and peace. They struggle with indifference. They are about human beings, the wide things we care about mutually. These are poems about crying and cursing, blessing and loss, to move human beings by sonnets towards understanding, caring, questioning and answering. The simple language reflects the author's perception of how clearly and simply so many of life's questions can be reflected on. The depths and heights of emotion often call for common images to express them best. This is what the Bible does, and these sonnets seek to speak the language of the Bible, especially its poetry.
