I found the poems in the fields: a guided exploration of poet John Clare

I found the poems in the fields. And only wrote them down - John Clare

John Clare was a nineteenth-century poet who had little formal education but who wrote about his lived experience of nature in detailed and beautiful poems.

He also lamented changes in the agrarian world which foreshadow present day concerns about loss of habitat.

He wrote movingly about his own sense of alienation and profound loneliness.

Come and join Jan in a guided exploration of Clare’s poetry, his life and the times he lived in.
