Synopsis


A Good Time is Gerard Benson's fourth collection for grownups, along with a number of anthologies, including the Poems on the Underground series, of which he is a founding editor. He was the first ever poet-in-residence at the Wordsworth Trust, and is a popular reader and tutor.

'Gerard Benson, poet, actor, gives resonance to the meaning of the poet s voice . He knows, physically, with breath and vocal cord, the music in language, the song in syntax, the tender litany in names, places, remembered characters. Yet there s nothing stagey or grand here. His poetry makes the ordinary extraordinary by using the good words for things, sculls and skiffs , for a boathouse, a shack over the water , a shell in the slop-slopping darkness . I hear his voice in every cadence.'
- Gillian Clarke
