A film biography by David Jones
with Freddie Jones as John Clare
"I am - yet what I am, none cares or knows" (John Clare)

John Clare (1792-1864), farm labourer, had three obsessions: his youthful love for Mary Joyce, the countryside of his native Northamptonshire, and the need to celebrate both in his poetry.
Clare cracked under the increasing strain of poverty and neglect, and spent the last 23 years of his life in Northampton General Lunatic Asylum. He imagined himself to be Lord Byron, a bigamist, and a prize-fighter; but the poems of his madness are perhaps the most remarkable he ever wrote.
"Clare's asylum foretells our need for an asylum, his deprivation foretells our deprivation" (Geoffrey Grigson)
