English poetry,and especially English lyric poetry,is one of the glories of world literature.From Shakespeare to the present day,an important element in the inspiration of lyric poetry has been the countryside in all its variety and beauty.Indeed,some parts of Britain are inextricably indentified with a particular poet:Hardy's Dorset,Wordsworth's Lakes, Housman's Shropshire. . . . In 'Poems of the Countryside',a wide selection of poems - some familiar,some much less so - is sensitively juxtaposed with Beningfield's magnificent pictures,largely taken from his bestselling books, 'Beningfield's Countryside',and 'Beningfield's English Landscape',to create a very special kind of anthology: one that will give poetic and visual pleasure for many years to come. Gordon Beningfield began his career as an eccliastical artist,but,since the early 1960's,he has built a reputation as a painter of the countryside, and his work has in recent years reached wide audiences through his appearances on television.He has designed two sets of stamps for the British Post Office,showing butterflies (1981) and other insects (1985).
