Description:This book is a testament to the continuing power of the poet John Clare (1793-1864) to inspire creativity in other artists. It is the product of a project launched at Oxford Brookes University in 2019, aimed at getting Clare to places and people he’d not quite reached before, to celebrate 200 years since his first book ‘Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery’ was published. Celebrated poets led John Clare poetry workshops in public libraries in four corners of England — Bradford, Manchester, London, and Peterborough — and the poems collected here are the product of these workshops. This project aims to end by taking Clare to the London stage, to revive an operatic performance of his 1820 poem ‘The Meeting’ which he missed, and so this book also includes extracts of music by Julian Philips and a script by Stephen Plaice, from a show to be performed soon. Funded by Arts Council England, the John Clare Society and Oxford Brookes University, our project and this book is a meeting of poems and poets, poems and song, poems and performance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
