| Summary: | In this comprehensive biographical and criticial study, Andrew Taylor examines the career of Welsh poet and writer, Peter Finch. Peter Finch is an internationally important poet whose work and role in Welsh and world poetry has for too long been overlooked. He writes in English and Welsh, in traditional and experimental forms, and has been a leading proponent of the avant-garde in Britain. There's Everything to Play For, considers Finch's contribution to the British literary scene, drawing on references to Finch's work from across academic and critical study, as well as the poet's own recollections of pivotal moments from his career. Finch's poetry is celebrated for its wit, experimentation and inventiveness. Andrew Taylor's book looks beyond the poems to the heart of Peter's poetic practice. Alongside the Collected Poems, it offers a definitive overview of a career spanning more than fifty years. |
