bookpossum's review against another edition
3.0
I didn't enjoy the early poems so much - they seemed too long to me and with basic rhyming schemes. However the Middle Period poems were of more interest, and the Asylum Poems were very good indeed. Sad to think of a man who loved the natural world so much and knew it so well, incarcerated in an asylum.

Introduction was in depth and insightful. Organisation of the collection was a little heavy. Clare's Asylum period has some interesting reads, but I think I prefer reading his poetry as stand-alones, not all in one go. Great for a free read.
