Allen Fisher, Tom Pickard and Iain Sinclair

T0
The poetry scene of the late 1960s was a diverse and dynamic territory. In the spirit of 1968, traditional hierarchies were rejected with a thriving underground movement of publishers, venues and happenings across the UK. Poets Allen Fisher, Tom Pickard and Iain Sinclair recapture the spirit at this special reading. Allen Fisher was a central figure in the British Poetry Revival and is also a painter, performer and editor of the magazine Spanner. Tom Pickard's poetry is inspired by Basil Bunting and the Black Mountain poets yet also reflects his Northumbrian roots. Iain Sinclair was a central figure in the avant-garde poetry scene, publishing work with his Albion Village Press.
