Zen Cymru is the new collection of poems by that master of modern angst, Peter Finch.
Resonant and deeply humane, this collection of poems covers a variety of topics with the immediacy and dramatic impact that are inherent in performance poetry. Loud, bewildered, satirical, sad, furious, and funny, these poems travel to Barcelona, Hungary, Ireland, and the United States, and examine themes ranging from the anxiety of aging and the oddness of Wales to the remarkable musicians of the 1960s and the murderous Phil Spector. Poems in this compilation include "Trying to Find Béla Bartók," "Hunting for the Man With Huge Ear Lobes," and "I Chew Gum and Think of Rifles."
