Be My Reader by Alec Finlay
Be My Reader is a trove of texts made and found by Finlay over the past two decades, touching on philosophy, landscape, dance, football, travel and technology. Affectionate, celebratory and vulnerable by turns, it includes such key texts as his popular homage to Robert Creeley 'I Know A Poem', the long poem-mapping of the Wittgenstein Hut in Norway, and poems which emerged from art projects for civic spaces and landscapes, all interspersed with pitch-perfect renderings of off-key phrases overheard and chanced upon. Formally adventurous and restlessly curious, Be My Reader is a unique confluence of contemporary experimental and generative forms together with the lyric voice.
Alec Finlay is an artist and boutique publisher, and the director and curator of the Archive of the Wind Blown Cloud in Edinburgh. He is also the founder of Morning Star Press, which specializes in artist's books, and the coordinator of the Centre for Artists' Books, in Dundee.
