Leonard Clark, who grew up in Cinderford, published dozens of collections of his poetry during his lifetime. He passed away in 1981 and his last collection was published posthumously in 1984.
Now, 40 years later, a NEW collection of his work has been put together by Dr John Howlett in collaboration with Clark's family and the Forest of Dean Writers Collection.
We are thrilled to announce that it is being launched in Cinderford, just a few steps away from where Clark lived and near to where his ashes are interred.
Come along to hear John, Clark's son and daughter, and Reading the Forest's Dr Roger Deeks in discussion with Jo Durrant about the new book. Exhibition will include newly discovered photos of a young Leonard Clark and other remarkable material. A must come event for anyone interested in writing, poetry, Forest of Dean history!
