Echoing John Clare in the Twenty-First Century:

Two Poetry-Writing workshops inspired by his Work.

---

Led by Ellis Hall and Bridget Somekh, authors of 'Love's Cold Returning: John Clare's 1841 Odyssey from Essex to Northamptonshire'

Through his poetry, John Clare made his world shine with meaning, opening a vivid window on nineteenth-century rural life for the modern reader. Can we do the same for our own world, and capture the essence of our everyday lives for future generations? And if so, what can we learn from Clare that could help us?

To find out, join us in our guided poetry-writing workshops. Attend one or both, and have your work published on the Stamford Poetry facebook page. 

Part of Verse Festival 2021 - If restrictions allow, we hope to meet at the Bluebell Inn, Helpston on Sunday 23 May for readings of the poetry created in these workshops.
