Ian Hamilton Finlay is one of the most innovative and wide-ranging artists working in Scotland. The distinctive classicism of his graphic work and sculptures are instantly recognisable, whether set in the heart of busy public spaces in Europe and the States, or photographed in the oasis of Little Sparta, the garden in Stonypath in the Borders which is home to his poem-sculptures. Fishing boats, Panzer tanks, the French Revolution, the pastoral tradition of English art and the principles of Neo-Classicism run through his graphic and sculptural work, the logical extension to his fascination with concrete poetry. Yet Ian Hamilton Finlay was first known as a poet and short story writer. In America, poets like Robert Creeley and Lorine Niedecker found affinity with his poetry decades before his work began to receive the respect it is now accorded in the UK.
This fully revised and updated edition of the 1996 Polygon selection of his work is expanded to set his earlier poetry like 'The Dancers Inherit the Party' and Glasgow Beasts in the context of his fiction, short plays, and later uncollected poems.
Acerca del autor: Ian Hamilton Finlay was born in the Bahamas in 1925 to Scottish parents who returned to Scotland when he was a child. After a brief spell at Glasgow School of Art he began his career as a writer and played a leading part in the 'concrete poetry' movement. He is best known for Little Sparta, his home in the Pentland Hills, which he transformed into an original modern conception of a classical garden with sculptures stone inscriptions carefully placed within the landscape.
