A selection of poetry for the spiritual journey whatever faith you may or may not have. Both accessible and honest, it is inspired by classic Anglican poetry and spirituality alongside Biblical texts, other books, ecclesiastical architecture and the natural world.

Included is a series of poems inspired by Robyn Cadwallader’s novel The Anchoress whence the title is derived.

This collection seeks to explore our need for safe or apparently safe anchorage, our experience of seeking it and where and how we might find it. The poems are grouped into four sections entitled Sight, Solitude, Struggle and Solace.
