Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The two volumes of Peter Finchs Collected Poems chart the course of a remarkable writing career. After reading Allen Ginsbergs Howl as a young man Finch was inspired to become a poet, found the Second Aeon magazine and publishing house, and become a poetry entrepreneur, bringing to all these things an unquenchable vitality which set him apart in contemporary poetry.This second volume includes poems from the second half of Finchs career, in which his poems also appeared in his prose books, and in public places on sculptures and buildings particularly in his native Cardiff. Yet still the poems continued to operate at the far edges of what poetry is understood to be. Although the poetry landscape of Britain has changed since Finchs first published poem in 1968, his desire to experiment, to question what constitutes a poem, and to challenge orthodoxy has remained both undiminished and relevant.The Collected Poems is also a restless exploration of the ideas behind the poems. It is a testament to the experimental in literature, to ways of doing it differently, and to an alternative modernist culture in Wales and Britain. Consequently, invaluably, they also open a window on a poetry scene seemingly lost from view to the twenty-first century. They remind us that there was interesting and vital writing happening outside of what has now calcified into the canon of twentieth century British poetry. And that Finch was at its cutting edge with poets like Bob Cobbing and Henri Chopin Paul. Editor Andrew Taylor has included an informative Introduction, a timeline of Finchs artistic activity, and helpful notes. The book is completed by poet Ian McMillans perceptive Foreword. Peter Finch has developed his particular poetics for fifty years. His blending of the avant garde, concrete, visual, sound and more conventional forms makes him a central figure in British poetry, bridging the experiments of the sixties with today's social concerns. His Collected Poems provokes and shocks, but engages through humour and empathy. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
