More about Gillian Clarke

‘Gillian Clarke's writing frequently offsets her awareness of the naturalness and depth of her roots in rural Wales with the sense of strangeness which comes from having English as her "mother-tongue".'

These meditations are delicately handled in the collection, and particularly striking in the context of environmental catastrophe. What now threatens the landscape which Clarke has farmed and nurtured, in life as in verse, are shadows which roll across the globe, turning, for many people, the possibility of belonging anywhere into wishful thinking. The Silence is full of poems which remind us of the importance of place, and the demand of its words and silences to be listened to.’

Carol Rumens writing on Gillian Clarke’s ‘Spring Equinox, 2021’, her chosen ‘Poem of the Week’ for The Guardian on 26 Feb 2024.
