So apologies are due; a daily echo was proving a little too much to manage, especially because we’ve been beset by various challenges in the last few days. So I’ll aim for 3 or 4 a week. How’s that?
Today is Palm Sunday, so there are a couple of poems that were hard to ignore. The first is well-known, the second less so. Both respond to the drama of Jesus’s subversive arrival in his capital in equally unexpected ways (you can read Luke’s account here).

- The text of The Donkey
- Malcolm Guite’s website and info on Wiki
- Palm Sunday with his introduction and reading (so you can hear it from the horse’s mouth)
