He has penned five volumes of poetry, several books on Christian faith and theology and a highly acclaimed biography of Samel Taylor Coleridge entitled Mariner.

Lewis, and has a YouTube channel with over 152,000 subscribers called ‘A Spell in the Library’ at https://www.youtube.com/MalcolmGuitespell.
