Re Alison's mention of A.L.Rowse and Cornwall can anyone give any
information on the Cornish poet Jack Clemo? I ask this with some
self-puzzlement, as I read his work, poems and autobiography, two decades
ago, was much taken with it, but one of those awful mental blanks has
descended on my memory in respect of him. I think he was blind (or deaf) and
recall being impressed by a certain character in the work, but for the life
of me all details have been filed away in a disused corner of my memory.
Best
Dave
