The Other Mountain

Overview

In The Other Mountain Rowan Williams relives moments of intense trial, when women and men are transformed in spirit, and sometimes in body also, through his vivid poetry. He not only reads the signs as they appear in nature and history, he lives them through language. These poems, informed by a sensibility shaped by Wales and by the Welsh language, are the highly anticipated new collection from the celebrated and multitalented former Archbishop of Canterbury, a key public figure in morality and contemporary debate.
