AFTER THE RUSSIAN (WITH JOHN FURNIVAL)

£145.00

Woodchester: Openings Press, 1969
21.5 x 15.2cm, 4pp. Early Finlay concrete poem with Furnival illustration reprinted here for the first time as a small broadside (Finlay often reprinted his work in different formats) with illustrations by Furnival who was Finlay's collaborator for much of the early 1970s until a falling out when Finlay asked Furnival to punch someone arriving on a train after a dispute between the poet and the arrivee. Furnival refused; Finlay stopped working with Furnival. Hardly reasonable but there you have it. "SING / SONG / SILENCE".  A Russian ship goes by." One of 300 relaese. Fine. Scarce. (Murray, 3.30)
