From the Publisher
This new selection of the poetry of the acclaimed Cornish poet Jack Clemo includes work from all of his major volumes, fromThe Clay Verge in 1951 to 1995s 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.
