About this product
Product Information
This volume surveys the life and work of the Scottish poet Ian Hamilton Finlay, who is best known for his extraordinary garden, Little Sparta, a unique "poem of place" in which poetry, sculpture, and horticulture intersect. This book directs sustained attention to Finlay the verbal artist, revealing the full breadth and richness of his poetics. It illuminates the evolution from his early years of composing plays, stories, and lyrical poems to his discovery of Concrete poetry and his emergence as a key figure in the international avant-garde of the 1960s.

Reviews
A hugely enjoyable anthology of Finlay's writings, in prose, and truly beautiful--especially when surreal--verse., This welcome new volume, Selections, ranging from Finlay's first stories and plays to his final inscriptions and aphorisms, reminds us that most of his career consisted of unilateral declarations of independence, in a territory staked out by his own definitions and designs. It is full of revelations that cast new light on the subject-notably in the sixty-page introduction by Alec Finlay, the author's son. His portrait of his father . . . manages to sound objective as well as affectionate. He clarifies the poet's debts to international and avant-garde movements, but invites us to recognize the irreducible Scottishness of his character and inspiration., [Finlay's] Temples Are Mock-Historic Edifices, but Who Are We to Say That They Are Not Sacred Sites?, "A hugely enjoyable anthology of Finlay's writings, in prose, and truly beautiful--especially when surreal--verse."-- Country Life, _This welcome new volume, Selections, ranging from Finlay_s first stories and plays to his final inscriptions and aphorisms, reminds us that most of his career consisted of unilateral declarations of independence, in a territory staked out by his own definitions and designs.
