Collected Poems by Rowan Williams

The first complete collection of the works of the former Archbishop of Canterbury.
'It's serious, craftsmanly writing on faith, history and mortality - it's the real thing' - Sean O'Brien; 'the truly successful poems here marry [Williams'] terse precision with an unwavering search for the truth, whatever it is, however elusive it might be.' - Times Literary Supplement; 'Reading this poet, at such a period in our history, is like feeling the first drops of rain after a long season of drought.' - A.N. Wilson, Daily Telegraph; 'His poetry opens windows on a rich and restless imagination.' - Boyd Tonkin, Independent
Rowan Williams was born in 1950. He was the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury (2002–2012). He spent much of his earlier career as an academic at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford successively.
