Description
John Clare (1793-1864) was a poet who worked as an agricultural labourer in Northamptonshire before his mental health deteriorated, leading to his commitment to an insane asylum. He published four volumes of verse, including Poems and The Shepherd's Calendar.
This collection brings together the work of two poets through a unique editorial process. A contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past, offering insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible introduction to some of the greatest poets in literature.
