Impromptu
by John Clare
'Impromptu' Summary
The poems in Impromptu are deeply personal and introspective, and they offer a unique glimpse into the mind of a complex and troubled artist. Clare's writing is often characterized by its honesty and its lack of sentimentality, and he is not afraid to explore the darker side of human nature. However, there is also a great deal of joy and beauty to be found in Clare's poems, and he is able to find moments of hope and transcendence even in the midst of despair.Book Details
