About this audiobook
The 77 Sonnets for Christ the King are the first significant body of traditional lyric verse to appear in over a century.
These breathtaking poems intertwine love, death, and time's passage with sacred subjects drawn from the Church's liturgical year. British actor Ian Russell's voice is manly, intimate, and seductive, perfect for MacKenzie's unforgettable sonnets.
