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

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 is a priest in the Diocese of Peterborough, and formerly taught Christian Spirituality at St Mellitus College, the training college for Anglican clergy. She is the author of two books; Dappled Beauty: Through Lent with Gerard Manley Hopkins (Canterbury Press 2025) and Frequencies of God: Walking Through Advent with R S Thomas (Canterbury Press 2020).

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.
