Be Still, Be Silent: Reflections on the poetry of David Scott

David Scott was a priest-poet in the tradition of George Herbert, whose quiet faith and pastoral care found profound expression in his poetry. A beloved figure in Winchester, where he ministered for many years, David’s work resonates with timeless themes of human connection, spiritual depth, and the beauty of the everyday. Prepared in collaboration with David’s wife after his passing in 2022, Be Still, Be Silent offers an inviting introduction to his poetry. Each chapter reflects the tender nostalgia, deep empathy, and faith-filled insight that made David’s voice so unique and enduring. With a heartfelt introduction by Malcolm Guite, this volume celebrates David’s legacy, not only as a poet but as a soul who touched many lives. His words continue to inspire, offering moments of grace, reflection, and a reminder of the sacred in the ordinary.
