Poems about John Clare
After the publication of his first poetry collection in January 1821 -- "Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery" -- Clare has been lionised by many poets in their work, some famous and some entirely unknown. Most were never meant to be published being for Clare's eyes only, but others moving tributes to the great man - the 'Burns of England'. Here you will find some of these works, the writing of which continues to this day.
