Toby Jones reads John Clare

Description

In response to a query from a participant in a workshop in Bradford, who wanted to hear the poems as she read them, we asked actor and life-long John Clare reader, Toby Jones, to read a selection of poems, and a couple of sections of prose. These poems were recorded at Oxford Brookes University on 3 July 2019. The sound engineer was Joseph Carr. Most of these poems are available in RKR Thornton’s Everyman selection of the poetry. The prose can be found in various places, including Carcanet’s By Himself edition of collected prose. These recordings can be listened to on our media player below, or via a podcast on iTunes.
