Reader Comments

He cries out through his poetry at the injustice he suffered from and witnessed as further land enclosure decimated the countryside he loved. As the problem of lack of access to land has not gone away, his vivid poetry and caustic turn of phrase call out to us today.
This is an excellent introduction to Clare's poetry and life - highly recommended
