Preparing To Fly Works Inspired by and Dedicated to John Clare.
- Authors
Shields, Brian
- Abstract
The author discusses his artistic works inspired by and dedicated to poet John Clare. He describes his connection with Clare's "The Nightingale's Nest" and commends the way its lyricism evoked placed, time and atmosphere. He mentions that the idea of a risen Clare as a new Adam has inspired his works exploring the relationship of the poet with nature. He reveals that the Clare series "Preparing to Fly" has freed him as an artist.
