The Gypsy and the poet

Morley, David, 1964-2013
Books
Beginning with the real-life encounter between the poet John Clare and a Gypsy named Wisdom Smith, this book reinvigorates the sonnet sequence to stage the fellowship that develops between the two men. In poems of lyrical richness and dramatic intensity we see the poet and the Gypsy banter, argue, and teach each other lessons; laugh, cry and curse; love and lose what they have loved.
