Hi Joodles
I've been overwhelmed by extra-poetical matters in the last week so
haven't been attending to my e-mail (tut tut). No, I don't know of the
guy but it sounds interesting: Hamilton Finlay was another one of
those problematic fascinating characters, like Pound, Olson, or the
still living Prynne, that one can have a really good wrangle about.
Later in the week, when things have staightened out a bit, I'll get
down to it.
Apologies to one or two others on this list, like Doug, whose direct
questions I haven't engaged with (it's been like the Battle of Britain
here last se'night)
All the Best
