Gordon Beningfield's previous anthologies of verse - 'The Darkling Thrush','Poems of the Countryside' and 'Green and Pleasant Land' - have brought pleasure to innumerable lovers of poetry and the countryside.His latest collection,'Poems of the Seasons' (then 1992),is a delightful celebration of the glories of the changing year.For country people,the seasons have always had enormous significance,particularly where they are reflected in the traditional farming calendar,but even for those who have no direct contact with the countryside,the natural rhythms of the year touch a deep chord.Poets have for centuries been moved to evoke the new life of Spring,the ripeness of Summer,the rich melancholy of Autumn and the chill of Winter.'Poems of the Seasons', drawn from writings covering four hundred years,offers a wealth of lyrical gems beautifully complemented by Gordon Beningfield's sensitive watercolours,some of which have been painted especially for this anthology.
Gordon Beningfield began his career as an eccliastical artist,but,since the early 1960s,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).
