 | Bill Griffiths: Reality
Street is collaborating with West House Books to bring together for the
first time the late Bill Griffiths' poetry up until 1980 (ie all the work preceding that in Salt Publishing's The Mud Fort). The text, edited by Alan Halsey and Ken Edwards, includes the full "Cycles" and "War w/ Windsor" sequences that so astonished readers when they first appeared, plus much other poetry that was published by his own Pirate Press imprint, Writers Forum and other small presses during the 1970s. |
Bill Griffiths was a poet, Anglo-Saxon scholar, book designer, small press publisher, biker,
houseboat owner, pianist, archivist and social historian who late
in his career moved from London to North East England where he reinvigorated
the study of the region's dialect. He died in 2007 at the age of 59.Become a Reality Street Supporter and get all four books above!
