Poetry is theology - so argues academic, priest and poet Malcolm Guite who has just published a new biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. A leading light in the Romantic Movement, Guite argues that The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Coleridge's life has much to teach modern Christianity with themes of evil, redemption, love and loss.
