The Memorial Fountain

Signed first edition of Roy Fisher's The Memorial Fountain

Roy Fisher1930–2017

First edition. 8vo. Pp. 15, [1]. Sewn card covers. Hand-set in 12 point Caslon Old Face at the School of English, Leeds University. One of the Northern House Pamphlet Poet series. Some of this collection of poems had previously appeared in Cambridge Opinion, Extra Verse, Migrant, Stand, Sum, Resuscitator, The Yorkshire Post and Young Commonwealth Poets 65.
Signed by Author to title-page, at an event at the Martin Harris Centre, Manchester.
Largely working outside of the mainstream of post-war British poetry, Fisher's poetry displays modernist influences, while being firmly rooted in the provincial landscape of the English Midlands. In 2003 he was made lifetime Honorary Poet of the City of Birmingham.
