  John Clare was born on 13th July, 1793 in Helpston, a few miles north of Peterborough. 
  Schooled only until the age of 12 his early career was that of agricultural labourer, pot boy, gardener and lime burner.  His early life of hardship and frequent malnutrition led to his diminutive stature of five feet and contributed to his later health problems. 
  In 1820 his first poems were published and began to earn him a reputation as the “Northamptonshire Peasant Poet”. 
  His poetry sold well but only occasionally did that and other incomes keep his head above water.  Married with seven children the burden was huge and demanding.  Frequently penniless his health began to dissolve. 
  He last published in 1835 and by 1837 with his drinking out of control and his mental state shredded he entered a mental institution.  He was to reside in such unhappy places until his death. 
  He died aged 71 on 20th May 1864. His remains were returned to Helpston for burial in St Botolph’s churchyard. 
  Today he is considered one of the greatest of English poets.  His lyrical works on nature and the countryside earn him this just praise.

  INCREMENTS
  
  
  I live by increments, single
  
  
  breaths of an ambient air,
  
  
  marking off hours, days.
  
  
   
  
  
  Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
  in sequentiae, edging every step
  
  
  forward before venturing the next.
  
  
   
  
  
  Staggering up towards the stony
  
  
  crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
  
  
  almost undone with weariness, only half
  
  
  believing that the view will widen.
  
  
   
  
  
  In my falling upward into your home,
  
  
  O Faithful One, stay with me,
  
  
  your wind music playing the ear of
  
  
  my mind like an instrument.
  
  
   
  
  "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw
