Bücher von Peter Banyard

Peter Banyard (1931-2018) was born in Birmingham and educated in London and Oxfordshire. He was ordained a Jesuit priest in 1961 and spent the greater part of his working life as teacher and chaplain in St Aloysius'' College, Glasgow. The predominant topics of his poetry are the natural world and especially the Hebridean island of Vatersay. His deftly crafted compositions were clearly inspired by his Victorian Jesuit predecessor Gerard Manley Hopkins. And, like Hopkins, he saw God in everything and good in everyone.
