Not Morris but ...
John Clare's Scraping
You know how it is, you're doing the ironing or cooking and you have the radio on in the background and suddenly your ears prick-up as you become aware of something familiar or interesting. Well, there I was preparing an early supper when I heard Jon Boden's voice talking to me from the radio. He'd put together a great little programme about the poet John Clare, the "Northamptonshire peasant poet". He's one of my favourite poets and I even have an 1820 copy of his first book "Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery" which I inherited from my Mum. So, Jon Boden immediately got my full attention, especially as the programme was celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publication of that book.
