‘Among all the friendships I have made in life those of school and childish acquaintance are the sweetest- there is no deseption(sic) in them… there is nothing to regret in them but the loss’

So chuffed to have my Bombus painting on the cover of the John Clare Society’s journal for July!

Thank you, Simon, for thinking of my art for this @kovesi.bsky.social 💛

Here’s a little peek…

Inspiring day @JohnClarePoetry Festival. Bird song links between poetry and conservation, birds and their landscapes in art, and sharing Clare's words and history with fellow enthusiasts. Wonderful!

Looking forward to reading the John Clare Society Journal this evening - and excited to see my essay on 'John Clare's Contemporaries: The Shepherd, The Wheelwright and the Housemaid' in print! @JohnClarePoetry #JohnClare

Colourful midsummer cushions laid on John Clare's grave by the children of the local primary school. Having a fascinating day at the John Clare festival - literature and nature combined - I've come home! 😊 #JohnClare @JohnClarePoetry

More agricultural General View reading today - this time James Donaldson on Northamptonshire, 1794: the land is described as having 'no... unsightly mountains to offend the eye', unlike Arthur Young, 1804, on Hertfordshire's deficiency in 'stupendous mountains'. @JohnClarePoetry
