A Bemerton Anthology: poems of George Herbert and Barbara Murray

The collection features eleven poems by George Herbert, curated by Barbara Murray, alongside twenty-two original works by Murray herself. Set against the backdrop of Bemerton, where Herbert served as a parish priest, the poems explore deep emotions and the art of language. Murray's poetry is characterized by genuine feelings and inventive word choices, with some pieces reflecting a playful spirit, while others convey a profound sense of necessity. Illustrations by Guy Ottewell enhance the connection to Herbert's historical context.
