About MeThis work is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend and sent her an example of each new poem print and multiple as it was made.'THING' POEMS
There is a difference between a poem which
is 'about' a thing and a poem which is a
thing-its own things, but not necessarily
without reference to something else
