Jack Clemo


Born

March 11, 1916

Died
July 25, 1994

Genre


Reginald John Clemo (Jack Clemo) was a poet and writer, strongly associated both with his native Cornwall and his Christian belief. His work is visionary and inspired by the Cornish landscape.

He had no formal schooling after age 13, became deaf around age 20, and blind in 1955, about 19 years later. His early work was published in the local press; he first received recognition in connection with the Festival of Britain.

The massive china clay mines and works around which he grew up feature strongly in his work.
