More about the book
Gillian Clarke's poetry often reflects autobiographical themes, focusing on her family and community experiences. While language isn't a central theme in her work, it emerges in her discussions of education and poetry writing. The essay explores her poems "Clocks" and "Miracle on Saint David's Day," offering a Lacanian interpretation of naming and the development of the child's identity through language. It contrasts the official language of society with the child's instinctive expressions, highlighting the complexities of language and reality in her poetry.
