About this book

Snow shaken from branches by startled crows, a robin beside a working woodman, and a family waiting for supper give John Clare's verse its particular texture. This collection gathers poems of country life, changing seasons, affection and loss. Its contents range from spring flowers and harvest mornings to thoughts in a churchyard, placing daily rural sights beside reflections on the course of a human life.

The winter passage follows outdoor labour into the warmth of a cottage. Clare notices the woodman's clothing, the bird he feeds, the children's chatter and the signs used to predict tomorrow's weather. These details make landscape part of a working household's experience. A biographical introduction also traces Clare's early schooling, paid work and growing appetite for books and rhyme. For readers drawn to poetry about ordinary places, the collection offers close attention to weather, animals and the small routines through which people inhabit the countryside.
