A Finger in the Fishes Mouth

London: House Sparrow Press, 2024.
Facsimile Edition.

23cm x 17.5cm. [148] pages, colour illustrations. Pictorial silver foil wrappers.

A facsimile edition of Derek Jarman’s sole, early, extremely rare poetry book ‘A Finger in the Fishes Mouth’, originally published in 1972. Heavily illustrated from Jarman’s collection of postcards, the book combines text and visual imagery in a way which foreshadows his subsequent style as an artist and filmmaker. With the majority of the first edition having been destroyed by Jarman, this makes available a missing, significant piece of his oeuvre.” (publisher’s blurb)
