Janet Morley's new book, The Heart's Time, is proving to be one of our most popular Lent titles. Janet has selected a poem a day for Lent and Easter, and her choice includes both familiar and unexpected poems by Carol Ann Duffy, Robert Frost, Seamus Heaney, George Herbert, Christina Rossetti and R S Thomas among many others. As Janet explains in her introduction, 'Lent is the period of the year when Christians set aside time to reflect on their spiritual journey; it is appropriately 'the heart's time' ... it is a time of focus and concentration, of stopping to notice what matters most in life.'
