A new collection of poems by well-known poets echoing the love of the parish church in the British literary memory.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 Following the success of Poems in the Porch, a collection of hitherto unpublished poems on parish churches by Sir John Betjeman, Kevin Gardner has now assembled a new anthology of poems on the same theme yet with a greater diversity of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.
