Jon McNaught : ‘March Blossoms’ artwork on the cover of London Review Of Books

Jon Mcnaught
Written By Dutch Uncle

The April 2024 issue of the London Review of Books (Vol. 46 No. 7) offers a springtime bouquet of literary criticism, historical exploration, and poetic musings.

Amid the diversity of thought-provoking content, the issue presents a poem that stands out for its evocative portrayal of the season: "Clapham in March" by T.J. Clark. This piece not only captures the essence of spring in Clapham with vivid imagery and emotion but is also complemented by the subtle artistry of Jon’s cover art.
