The Heart’s Clockwork is an exciting collaboration between poet Brian Hinton and the painter Julian Bell, who in 1988 illustrated Virginia Woolf’s The Widow and the Parrot for the Hogarth Press, and who has designed the covers for three other Enitharmon titles. The poet and artist have previously collaborated on an edition of Emily Tennyson’s Farringford Journal (Isle of Wight County Press). The Island is central to this collection – its ravaged beauty, its rich, half-forgotten artistic heritage, the disintegration of its coastline. In The Heart’s Clockwork, this becomes a complex metaphor for contemporary society, an alchemical marriage between the land and the sea.

Brian Hinton read English at Magdalen College, Oxford, and went on to take a PhD in 20th Century English poetry at Birmingham University. With over 30 published books to his name, Dr Hinton's main research interest is the Tennyson circle on the Isle of Wight in the late 19th Century, and in particular the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron.
