A Master of Nature Poetry

John Clare (1793-1864) was a self-educated poet born into poverty in the village of Helpston, Northamptonshire. Despite his humble beginnings, Clare possessed an extraordinary talent for capturing the beauty and fragility of the natural world. His poems are infused with a deep love of the English countryside, its landscapes, and its people.

Clare's poetic voice is unique, combining elements of Romantic lyricism with a keen observation of rural life. His poems evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, as he reflects on the changing seasons, the hardships of farm labor, and the vanishing ways of traditional village life.
