The Irish intellectuals are many and great indeed…poets, authors, artists, scientists and not forgetting the brewers are wonderful too 😄😊😉👍👍🍀

If this man said Melon at the base of a mountain, I think a door would open 😂

I suppose the Irish produce so many wonderful poets (and writers in general) because so many seem to die early. Truly the Leanan Sidhe must be prodigious! Thank you for sharing this verse tonight. I think I will invite my neighbor to the garden this evening for wine and a charcuterie. Good night and Godspeed on your tour.

Would you ever consider a KZfaq lecture series on poetry? I’d love to learn more about how to enjoy and experience poetry, where to start and who the greats are… and I would thoroughly enjoy you as the lecturer.

...and what a wonderful example of these kindnesses you are for hosting us so generously and welcoming us in to break poetic bread and tell us tales and recollections. Much appreciated Malcolm. Cheers and bon voyage!

Love Irish poetry! Slainte! Happy Early St.Paddy's Day. ☘🍻

Malcolm can I say what a real pleasure and joy your latest reading today was for me! I have been following your regular poetry readings since December 2021when you read some Betjeman which was great. Since then your eclectic choice of poetry not only ceases to impress but also has rekindled in me a love of poetry which had been somewhat dormant since the 60s and a man called Rod Mckuen moved me with rather corny but well meant love poetry. Your love of words and the variety of poets you call on to use the english language in such wonderfully expressive and meaningful ways is a joy to me. Micheal O Siadhail is a new name to me but this poem reached new heights in expressing the human connection one with another so beautifully. Well done. I am not usually inclined to make my views known but today felt the necessity to tell you. Do keep on surprising us and more importantly enlightening us with even more great poets and great poetry.

Thank you for having me. It was lovely. 💚

You're such a soothing soul to sit and liten to. As your fellow brother in Christ, hello and may the Lord bless and keep you.

Your videos and the readings you share are literally enriching my life and even making my vacation even more enjoyable! Thank you so much for what you do!! ❤

Thank you Malcolm for relaxing me in the business of the modern world

always a blessing to hear you read and share . this is a wonderful poem full of the Kingdom of the King. May Jesus be your companion on your literary tour! Thank you!

Good Morning 😊 Beautiful poem 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing and i appreciate your time to share the poem readings with me 😊👏🏼 Greetings from S.A🇿🇦

Another beautiful video! Thank you for sharing with us!

fabulous malcolm!! and you nailed the pronunciation "as gaeilge" 😉 - greetings from Ireland ☘️

Thank you Malcolm. Safe travels and hosting …

Maybe it is because I've been listening to lectures and reading about the Grail lol, but I hear a grail allusion weaving through these poems---courtesy like chivalry, the basket, the woundedness at the feast (where Parzival fails to ask the question to restore the wasteland), the Grail King's wound in the thigh, the apple (as polyvalent an allusion as the rose!), how Parzival fails to recognize his kin, that God is his kin (Martin Shaw, The Snowy Tower)???? Wonderful poem even if I'm projecting lol.

Very nice to hear from you Malcom! I always enjoy your poetry reading.

I am the 19,700 follower, i like your channel, greetings from germany 😊

So nice to see you back, and now off you go again. Between your travels and mine this summer, it’s a treat to catch up with your videos. I think we all should be lifelong students of life and worthy subjects, and I’m grateful for your generosity in sharing your love of poetry and literature, your insights and knowledge. Slanté

I never knew that definition of companion,thank you for yet again teaching me and soothing my soul with your reading 🙏🏻📖

what a wonderful poem 'Courtesy' is

Nice to have met you in Cambridge sir !

Thank you Malcolm. Now there’s another poet l must try to find. Really enjoy your presentations, great for the soul.

What a fantastic episode, Malcolm. Thank you!

I have found this to be a most enchanting channel. My eyes have been opened to the wonderful world of Poetry, to which I had never considered previously. I wonder, if I my be so bold as to ask whether you might create a video on how to begin a journey into enjoying poetry and how to begin writing it oneself.

Wonderful, thanks for sharing! God bless.

Awesome poetry reading! thank you for your reading! Malcolm Guite, God bless you.^^

This reading offers much indeed. Many thanks!

Thankyou for your generous companionship Malcolm!

Great, thank you. Love this channel....just wondering, Malcom, are you an admirer of the poetry of Hart Crane? Would love to hear you speak about him. Thanks

Hello Malcolm how can I send my poetry books to you? I wrote 2 and would like your feedback? Thank you love the channel really extensive studies on words.

How’s it going? Good to see you. I appreciate reading 📖 ideas.

This was fun Malcolm
