SACKCLOTH. 1994.
£15.00
Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, n.d. (1994)
13.5 x 7.2 cm, 12pp plus card covers. Artist’s book which has four one-line poems (one per page) thus:
the simplicity of sackcloth
the self-effacement of sackcloth
the aspiration of sackcloth
and
the REVOLUTION of sackcloth.
The lowly fabric (traditionally made out of goats hair) is cast by Finlay in its place but by the fourth line is allowed to turn against its oppressors. A reference to the French and other revolutions. VG+.
