In the spring of 2026, a stunning exhibition of modern religious art was mounted in Guildford, displaying 25 works by such world-class artists as Graham Sutherland, Elisabeth Frink, Ceri Richards and Maggi Hambling. As part of this major event the poet, Alwyn Marriage, was commissioned to write poems to accompany each work of art at the exhibition, and these poems proved so popular that they have now been published as a collection, along with reproductions of the full-colour artworks to which they were a response.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you would like to explore some of the art at a deeper level, there are also a dozen longer reflections on some of the paintings which can be reached through the Art UK website<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From Darkness to Light<\/span><\/span><\/em> was published by Oversteps Books on behalf of St Mary's Church, Guildford, on 26 February 2026.

In a surprising change of career some years ago, Alwyn Marriage found herself travelling the world as Chief Executive of two international literature and literacy NGOs. Looking back now on that decade of travel, she reflects in poetry on some of the wonderful people she met and projects with which she had the privilege to work. <\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling Light<\/em> won the Hedgehog Prize in the 2024 \u201cProper Poetry Collection Competition\u201d. It was published by <\/span>The Hedgehog Poetry Press <\/em><\/a><\/span>on 14 November 2025.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a> Alwyn Marriage\u2019s travelogue poems hold surprises, bright blessings and sensory discoveries: they are snapshots of global humanity, thriving despite inequality. An intelligent woman is forced to walk on her knees; there is peril and crime, but also a deep joy in the rich welcomes of Africa, Polynesia and South America; and always an appetite for shared song.

This eye-opening collection, the fruit of global travels on behalf of NGOs in the 1990s, is astonishing in its reach and breadth of subject matter. Alwyn Marriage has braved black ants and cockroaches, sea snakes and crocodiles, and airplane pilots saying prayers, while witnessing stark examples of women\u2019s inequality, and wondering about the pitfalls as well as the benefits of opening their eyes.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It contains moments of lyricism in many far and wide places, such as aboard the Trans-Siberian Express, when the only remaining fare is smoked salmon and Russian champagne, and swimming into a cave in Samoa, and gazing outwards from it, at the open sea. This fascinating sequence of traveller\u2019s tales from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific, and eastern Europe, demanded to be written. They are d<\/span>e<\/span>spatches from a time before the internet and social media somehow narrowed our horizons.

Possibly a Pomegranate celebrates womankind. From ancient history to the modern day, women stride through its pages. Sometimes they dazzle us with their humour and creativity \u2013 too often overlooked by patriarchal contemporaries. At other times, their fate moves us to tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

How rare it is to read a collection so full of calm wisdom, of a lifetime\u2019s experiences and investigations marshalled with a clear eye for what matters and a well-honed gift for finding the words and forms to share them. This celebration of women ranges from girlhood memories and the tenderness of parenthood to the intimacies and aggravations of later years, from insight into lives in different cultures to a roll call of remarkable women through the ages in which Pope Joan rubs shoulders with Jane Austen. These are satisfying and enriching poems.<\/em>\u00a0 Alasdair Paterson, Uncut Poets<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

An assured exploration of womanhood, with poems as abundant as the fruits in the pomegranate, resonant with love, birth, death, achievement, happiness and heartbreak. Small, unnoticed moments are brought into focus and held still enough to touch. Marriage turns her sympathetic and good humoured gaze on Sappho, Cleopatra, Lot's wife, Heloise, Hildegard, Mother Julian, Grace Darling, Rosa Parkes as well as her own life, creating a rich panoply of women.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Maggie Butt, poet and novelist<\/span><\/p>\n

In this poem, Alwyn Marriage suggests that St Clare (1194-1253) may be a rather more interesting figure than history suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clare Offreduccio (Chiara) was a normal, healthy and enthusiastic teenager until she was swept off her feet by the dashing young Francis, whom she heard preach with passion. Abandoning her previous life to follow him, she devoted herself to a life of chastity and charity. Images of St Clare in art tend to depict her as an icon of humble obedience and purity, but there may well be more to the story than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

While not wishing to diminish Clare's genuine piety and good works at all, this story suggests that Clare's obvious love of St Francis was more full-blooded and passionate than the official stories have suggested, and that ending up in a convent was not quite what Clare had in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pandora\u2019s Pandemic<\/i> is a vivid and personal account of Covid-19 in real time, in poems written actually as it happened. When Covid-19 swept across the world, it took everyone by surprise. Debilitating illness, unprecedented lockdowns and tragic deaths soon followed. And then the questions arose \u2013 how long would the devastation last and would anyone survive? <\/span>Alwyn Marriage contracted Covid-19 early in the pandemic and that is where this moving collection starts. <\/span><\/p>\n

In these vivid poems, Alwyn tracks the course of her own illness and recovery, the death of her brother and the gradual dawning of new hope. Above all, she asks what we have learnt from this pandemic, and whether the world will ever be the same again. This means that, unusually for a poetry book, because it tells the story of Covid-19, you can read Pandora\u2019s Pandemic<\/i> like a novel, not knowing what the next twist will be. This is poetry that grips you, may make you cry, but will also warm your heart. One reader wrote: The poems are wonderful. You have captured our universal experience of the pandemic, rather as the young war poets did ... It's a huge achievement<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1628, the English physician and anatomist, William Harvey, discovered the circulation of the blood. This short story explores whether this great leap in medical knowledge might also be seen as a metaphor for something even more surprising.<\/p>\n

William Harvey Esq was at his desk when God sidled in. Ungreeted, indeed unnoticed, God cleared the dirty coffee cups from the table, tidied up the tobacco pouch and ink - well, then set about laying a fire in the hearth. Still William Harvey\u2019s head was bent in concentration over his papers: God is, after all, very easily missed. It was Spring 1629 ....<\/em><\/p>\n

\r\n\t

Rapeseed<\/a> follows the story of Samantha, a bright young academic, investigating the psychology of the children of rape. However, Sam has a secret, and flashbacks throughout the novel explore how this affected her upbringing. With a serial rapist on the loose and Sam's own search for her father becoming more desperate, her personal and professional lives begin to overlap. Various new contacts enter Sam's life as her doubts about her work and her detective efforts increase, until she eventually finds herself in horrifying danger. Does anyone love her enough to save her from herself? \u2018Rapeseed\u2019 was shortlisted in the Cinnamon Novel Award, 2011.<\/p>\n

An admirer of Alwyn Marriage\u2019s poetry, I was very interested to go to the launch of her novel, Rapeseed, in York. It was clear from her presentation and reading that the book was meticulously researched and beautifully written.<\/em>
\nThe novel concerns Sam, a young woman researcher into the children resulting from rape and whether they might share certain characteristics. From the outset we learn that Sam also has a personal interest in the subject as her own mother was raped and she herself falls into the category of the \u2018rapeseed\u2019 of the title. Her mother never discussed this with her and the narrative, which becomes increasingly tense and gripping, is interspersed with diary entries from childhood onwards in which Sam expresses a desire to find her father.<\/em>
\nThe personal (and there is a very well-written sub plot of a long-running love affair which contrasts beautifully with the ugliness and violence of rape) becomes inseparable from the academic and the researcher keeps her own family history a secret from her professor as well as from the governor of Wandsworth Prison where she is given access to files, including that of her own father.<\/em>
\nWithout wishing to give away the plot, I found myself caught up in the narrative and anxious for the main character who puts herself in real danger when she finally puts the personal before the academic and secretly arranges to meet her mother\u2019s rapist in a lonely spot.<\/em>
\nI can highly recommend this book which is a real page-turner and also an intelligent investigation into rape and its wide-ranging consequences. The characterisation and dialogue are superb and the reader\u2019s interest is captured and sustained by a fast-moving narrative.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Carole Bromley

Alwyn Marriage presents a vision of the Church as the priesthood of all believers, and argues that unless we take seriously the doctrine that all Christians are called to be priests, there is little future for the Church. She demonstrates how this inclusive vision was the basis of the Old Testament concept of God's chosen people, was restored through Jesus' calling of the first disciples and the mission of the early Church, and has been a recurring theme through reform movements ever since.

Review by Thelma Laycock<\/strong> in the Leeds-based poetry magazine Aire<\/i>ings<\/b><\/i>, no 22:<\/span><\/p>\n

Refreshingly this anthology bursts upon the British poetry scene which seems to suffer from a dearth of Christian writing. Alwyn Marriage draws her collection together from two hundred poems chosen from eight and a half thousand received after publicising the anthology to churches and magazines worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Christian Poetry<\/i> is not a denominational \u2018churchy\u2019 collection. The editor presents the poetry in its widest sense, dividing it into eleven sections: The Natural World, Place, People, World Issues, Art, The Bible, Times and Festivals, Experience of God, On Being a Christian, Praise and Prayer, Bread and Wine, thus expressing that Christians are not apart from the world but are very much thrown into the turmoil of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memorable among the poems for me is Jean Naylor\u2019s \u2018Contemplation\u2019 (Experience of God) with its Hopkinsian imagery:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI saw Him in the crushed crimson\u2019s dawn appearing \u2026
\nHe comes riding
\nStallion-drawn, whirl-wheeled, fleet
\nSword-buckling King, re-armed in glory
\nI fall, love adoring at his feet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Presenting a contrast to that is Rosie Watson\u2019s \u2018Red Nose Day\u2019 (World Issues) with its comic irony:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWould God wear a nose for such a cause
\nChrist the Clown
\nour fool for God\u2019s sake
\nthe only one
\nto wear a nose on red nose day
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Good Friday
\nfor the sake of Ethiopia
\nYes, and much more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Catherine Fisher closes the section on Art with her universal poem, \u2018Judas\u2019, in which the poet sees:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 a roundel here of Christ in Hell,
\nembracing a man waist-deep in fiery glass
\nwhose medieval face turns up as if in shock \u2026
\nPerhaps it is something in the kiss that makes me
\nwonder, if they meant it to be you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The poems in this collection have a very high standard and much could be said about the individual poems. I can only recommend that people buy it and read it. It is a good resource for worship and for teaching as well as for personal reflection. It is excellent and have not come across anything quite like it. I am glad to have this anthology on my bookshelves; it has presence.
