FAMILY. HOMAGE TO SIMON CUTTS. 1975.

Dunsyre: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1975

11.7 x 13.5cm, 4pp. The front of the card has a poem under the title:


Lily has grown
a full stop.
Iris has not<BR

On the back of the card is a photograph by Dave Paterson of a small wooden sculpture by Finlay called “Lily” and the poem is an adaption of a Cutt’s poem FAMILY which we believe to be about the latter’s children but cannot confirm. Finlay’s mild parody references the photograph where an additional floating “leaf” appears to have been attached to the sculpture by wire – almost as if it has grown -the shape of the leaf, is like the round full stop.
