The Thing About Roy Fisher by John Kerrigan )
Roy Fisher, a writer and poet, born in 1930, came to prominence in the 1960s and has continued to develop and publish since then. His work is important not least because it has brought together influences from American, Russian and European culture. Fisher's work appeals variously and has been reviewed with complexly different strategies. This work represents this variety, so as to confront implications in Fisher's writing not fitting into any of the usual categories.
If you haven’t been introduced before, meet Roy Fisher; a major figure of twentieth century literature-inventive, exciting and unpredictable
