LibriVox volunteers bring you 13 recordings of Letter In Verse by John Clare. This was the Weekly Poetry project for August 10, 2025. ------ John Clare was an English poet. The son of a farm labourer, he became known for his celebrations of the English countryside and his sorrows at its disruption. His biographer Jonathan Bate called Clare "the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced. No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self." - Summary by Wikipedia
