Peter Finch gave a superb performance at the Writers Forum Workshop today
Saturday, 11 October 1997
Primarily he was launching his new book DAUBER from Writers Forum £3.50
plus postage
and was joined by Bob Cobbing and Lawrence Upton for 4 of his reworking -
development? - of haiku in that book in which he dropped the stone in the
mind pond and Bob and I - I cant do this 3rd person stuff very long - were
the banks. Or something like that... Pete did vocal things then a while
later Bob and I did something
Then Peter went on doing new poems and some from his back list - and he was
bloody good - a very accomplished AND adventurous performance. This
included a fairly extensive quote from his _500 Cobbings_ which is
astonishingly innovative in terms of its content and the connections he
makes. A poet who is for want of a better term _still moving_ and moving
fast. Still crazy after all these years.
Next workshop is Saturday 25th October 3.30 pm
