Description

IThis new selection of the poetry of the acclaimed Cornish poet Jack Clemo includes work from all of his major volumes, from The Clay Verge in 1951 to 1995's The Cured Arno.

Awkward, radical, nature-baiting landscape poems full of pain and anguish give way to monologues, biographical sketches, broader themes and looser forms.

The settings of white tips, flooded pits and the grinding works of the industrial-rural clayscape are replaced by the rivers and bridges of Florence and Venice and the coastal ease of Dorset.

However, as Rowan Williams states in his introduction, 'mellow is not the word' for this transformation.

Clemo remained till the end a rare rebellious voice, representing a unique poetic perspective and personal experience.
