Ivor Gurneys Gloucestershire
Ivor Gurney is perhaps best known as a musician and World War I poet but he also wrote vividly and prolifically about his native Gloucestershire, finding inspiration and joy in walking the countryside and expressing its different moods. Gurney became increasingly dependent on "being-in" these Gloucestershire places as the source of his identity and well-being. This book explores the particular Gloucestershire landscapes--the Cotswolds, the Severn Meadows, and the city of Gloucester--that stimulated his creativity in poetry and music, but the relationship went much deeper.
This book contains a wealth of Gurney's poetry with many pieces being published here for the first time. Confined to a mental asylum in Kent for the last 15 years of his life, he still drew on his memories of Gloucestershire, but it was a poetry of absence and loss. Other features aim to clarify the poetry/place
