MID-PACIFIC ELEMENTS. 1973.
£40.00
Dunsyre: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1973.
8 x 11.5cm, 10pp – single folding sheet printed on one side only. An accordion folded sheet that opens out to five b/w vintage photographs from the Battle of Midway. The first image is of planes leaving the US fleet to attack the Japanese but the next four are of explosions which Finlay has designated as Fire Water, Shell Fire, Samphire and Ise. The reference is to the classical belief in four elements Earth, Fine, Air and Water – a theme that the poet expanded in other later works. VG+.
