The Great Wheel weaves together British myth, legend and history. From the founding of Britain by Brutus, the grandson of Aeneas, to the death of King Arthur, spirituality and war are threaded into a single strand. It is the story of Britain in the age of miracles, encompassing historic and cosmic cycles.

New York poet, Jerome Sala wrote:  “Robert Wolf’s The Great Wheel proposes an audacious idea—that there is a rhythm to history, and that beneath its chaotic flow of events there is a song. To reveal this sublime music, the book modulates between biblical cadence and Poundian Canto. As the wheel of cosmic history turns, we learn the relationship between the inspiring and the mundane, the rational and the irrational—and a hero steps forth: the visionary imagination itself. If poetry is “news that stays news” as Ezra Pound once quipped, this is a very poetic work indeed.”—Jerome Sala, author of How  Much? New & Selected Poems
