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.
