Has a text: 'Early Finlay' by Edwin Morgan with a central section showing colour reproductions. an Hamilton Finlay (1925 2006) was a poet, writer, visual artist and gardener. He is now internationally recognised for his work in each of these art forms. Finlay was born in Nassau, the Bahamas, in 1925. Finlay s father bootlegged alcohol from Nassau into the USA until the repeal of prohibition laws in 1933, when he and Finlay s mother unsuccessfully attempted to start an orange-growing business in Florida, before returning to Scotland in straitened circumstances. Finlay himself had been sent to Scotland at the age of six, boarding first at Larchfield School near Helensburgh, then Dollar Academy. He spent the years 1943 45 between Glasgow, where he attended, or failed to attend, art school and befriended W.S. Graham, and London, where he met the painters Robert Colquhoun and Robert MacBryde. Undertaking national service with the Non-Combatant and Service Corps between 1944 and 1947, he travelled to post-Nazi Germany. He was adopted as an accolyte by Hugh MacDiarmid, who would be best man at his wedding in 1947, before they accrimoniously fell out in the early 1960s. By 1948 Finlay was living in rural Perthshire, at Drum-Na Keil near Comrie with his wife Marion. He spent the next eight years as an impoverished writer and painter, periodically publishing short stories in the Glasgow Herald and the Scottish Angler his stories were often about fishing while earning money from shepherding and labouring. He briefly lived on Rousay, one of the Orkney Islands, during the winter of 1955-56; this location became a source of inspiration for the symbolic landscapes depicted in much of his later work. Finlay s short stories describe rural Scottish life while displaying stylistic affinities with Russian and Scandinavian writers such as Turgenev, Chekhov and Strindberg. Throughout his career, Finlay would seek understandings of a Northern sensibility distinct from Scots or Gaelic culture. From 1956 onwards Finlay was largely based in Edinburgh, though he travelled to Rousay again in Spring 1959. The mid-1950s to early 1960s were punctuated by bouts of nervous illness: Finlay s agoraphobia set in, only to leave him in the mid-1990s. A book of short stories, The Sea Bed and Other Stories, appeared in 1958, followed by a collection of comic, melancholy lyric poems, The Dancers Inherit the Party, published in autumn 1960 by Gael Turnbull s transatlantic Migrant Press. This, along with Finlay s publication in the last two issues of Turnbull s Migrant magazine, brought him to the attention of American poets such as Lorine Niedecker, Robert Creeley and Cid Corman, and they to his. Finlay set up the Wild Hawthorn Press with his partner Jessie McGuffie, partly to publish the work of undervalued and international poets. Wild Hawthorn produced Finlay s demotic Scots reincarnation sequence Glasgow Beasts an a Burd in September 1961, followed by Lorine Niedecker s My Friend Tree (1961), Louis Zukofsky s 16 Once Published (1962), and Gael Turnbull s A Very Particular Hill (1963). The books were illustrated with woodcut prints, reflecting Finlay s burgeoning visual-literary sensibility. The following spring (1962), he launched the periodical Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. (P.O.T.H), printing rural Scottish lyrics by George Mackay Brown alongside contemporary international poets such Anselm Hollo and Shimpei Kusano, first-wave European avant-gardists such as Mayakovsky and Apollinaire, and American neo-objectivists such as Niedecker.
