John Clare was known as a peasant poet during the English Romantic period. Although he didn't receive much attention at the time, it wasn't until the end of the 20th century that many critics began to recognize him as a poet of ecological significance. As his occupation as a farmer suggests, his descriptions of nature in his poetry are based on direct experience. The sense of immediacy, place, and spontaneity expressed in these descriptions indicates the vividness of his experience of nature. However, his realistic depiction of nature was very different from the artistic tradition of the time, and his poetry was easily dismissed as a product of his lack of formal education and ignorance. Three important prejudices against Clare's poetry are its picturesque descriptions, its disorder and complexity, and his literary genius as a result of his lack of education. Despite these prejudices, he endeavored to express his ecological consciousness in his poetry. First, with regard to his realistic depiction of nature, it was the artistic fashion at the time to write poetry not by observing nature in detail, but by viewing or contemplating it from a distance and adding one's own feelings or social tastes to the depiction of nature. However, he did not treat in his poems any natural object that he did not observe with his own eyes, but rather tried to observe nature in more detail, even to the point of bending down and bowing his head in doubt about his observations. He showed close interest and affection for individual natural objects. He did not use or sacrifice nature for his literary appreciation or as a tool, which is his life-centered attitude, valuing each natural object. Secondly, his poetry has been criticized for being disorderly and complicated, meaning that his literary gaze on nature does not move in a planned way for the sake of his literary ability or showmanship, but rather randomly describes what catches his eye. However, this shows how his detailed observation of individual natural objects develops into an awareness of the totality of nature as a whole. In a deep ecological sense, to depict nature itself is the artistic self-realization he seeks in his depictions of nature. He strives to depict many natural forms as they are by metonymically representing them by means of enumeration, accumulation, and arrangement, linking them to their ecological significance or commonalities. His poetic disorder thus functions as an openness to invite many natural objects into his literary space, and in that space he allows them to achieve self-realization as well. In this process, he forms a holistic view of nature based on our interconnectedness with it. Thirdly, John Taylor, the editor of his early poetry, emphasizes the importance of John Clare's poetry as pure improvisation, uninfluenced by education, which he describes as his literary genius, but the importance of his improvisation was in the sense of dialogical interaction with his audience. Within the practical constraints of his work as an agricultural laborer, he was forced to take time out of every moment of his labor to observe nature and compose poetry, so improvisation might be taken for granted, but it is not a showy act that reveals his literary inspiration in a moment, but rather the accumulation of endless thought, practice, and frustration when it does not work out, as well as respect for nature, which has always been the object of his literary expression. In this way, he chose improvisation to honor nature as a true partner in his literary activity, and this method is therefore an important feature in explaining his literary ecological consciousness. Thus, John Clare's abandonment of human subjectivity in his practice of love for nature, his consideration for the self-realization of others, and his efforts to honor nature as his true literary partner make him significant as the first deep ecologist.
