Be My Reader

Be My Reader is a trove of texts made and found by Finlay over the past two decades touching on philosophy landscape dance football travel and technology. Affectionate celebratory and vulnerable by turns it includes such key texts as his popular homage to Robert Creeley 'I Know A Poem' the long poem-mapping of the Wittgenstein Hut in Norway and poems which emerged from art projects for civic spaces and landscapes all interspersed with pitch-perfect renderings of off-key phrases overheard and chanced upon. Formally adventurous and restlessly curious Be My Reader is a unique confluence of contemporary experimental and generative forms together with the lyric voice.
