The two volumes of Peter FinchâEUR(TM)s Collected Poems chart the course of a remarkable writing career. After reading Allen GinsbergâEUR(TM)s 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 âEUR¿second halfâEUR(TM) of FinchâEUR(TM)s 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 âEUR¿operate at the far edges of what poetry is understood to beâEUR(TM). Although the poetry landscape of Britain has changed since FinchâEUR(TM)s 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 FinchâEUR(TM)s artistic activity, and helpful notes. The book is completed by poet Ian McMillanâEUR(TM)s perceptive Foreword.
