Familiar with Malcolm Guite?

Ayodeji Malcolm Guite has a following among younger Christians. And no wonder! He is cool.

He’s an Anglican priest, poet, academic, and singer-songwriter. He plays the guitar in a blues band called Mystery Train, smokes a pipe, and rides his Royal Enfield café racer through the English countryside. He takes long prayer walks, and he speaks eloquently.

Guite is a member of a jazz-poetry performance collective called riprap. He has three cds out on Cambridge Riffs and itunes. He gives regular poetry/music performances in the UK and in the States.

Born in Nigeria to British expatriate parents, Guite earned degrees from Cambridge and Durham universities. His research interests include the intersection of religion and the arts.
