Building Jerusalem: Elegies on Parish Churches

Autor Kevin J. Gardner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mai 2016
Nostalgia and love of parish churches is deeply embedded in the British psyche. Following the success of Poems in the Porch, a collection of hitherto unpublished poems on parish churches by Sir John Betjeman, Kevin Gardner has now assembled a new anthology of poems on the same theme yet with a greater diversity of post-war authors - Philip Larkin, R. S. Thomas, John Betjeman, C. Day Lewis, U. A. Fanthorpe and many others. The collection is introduced by a fascinating critical introduction, 'Anglican Memory and Post-war British Poetry' and will appeal to church and poetry lovers alike in their droves.

Recenzii

A church without a poem is a steeple without a bell, a choir without a hymn. Thank you Kevin Gardner for composing such a glorious sound, and from friends old and new. It will enhance every church visitor's bliss.
A plangent, devastating elegy for a Church of England apparently in its death throes . One reads it with mingled admiration of the verse and sadness at the dereliction of so many English parish churches.
An anthology that gave me even more pleasure than I expected
A treat from cover to cover
