John Clare was an English poet who lived most of his life in abject poverty.

His life was marred by bouts of mania and depression, and for the final 23 years of his life, Clare was locked in an insane asylum.

It was here he began to write poetry; ‘I Am’ was Clare’s final elegy before his passing.
