Hymns To St Geryon And Other Poems / McClure, Michael., 1959

 Item
Identifier: CC-47543-68551
Scope and Contents Timothy Longville signature, dated July 31 1963 appears on a blank page near the title page. He edited Grosseteste Review (1967--84) along with John Riley. This began essentially as an English Objectivist magazine, gazing at the USA, and gradually became devoted to something much more local, unidentifiable, and unexpected, something which hadn't really existed in 1967; and sometimes called the Cambridge Leisure Centre, although that isn't very appropriate, and "English Objectivism' isn't wholly descriptive either. Most readers will know this group through A Various Art (1987), edited by Longville and by Andrew Crozier, the publisher of Ferry Press books, who had co-edited The English Intelligencer with Peter Riley), which is useful and widely available. It includes poems by Longville, Crozier, JH Prynne, Roy Fisher, John Seed, John Hall, Anthony Barnett, John James, Douglas Oliver, Peter Philpott, John Riley, David Chaloner, Veronica Forrest-Thomson, Nick Totton, Ralph Hawkins,...

Scope and Contents The review of this book by Jori Finkel in Art in America February 2008 follows below. If Andre Breton was the pope of Surrealism, then Francis Picabia was surely the playboy of Dada. It's not merely that he was born into the European elite, it's that he used his good fortune for such purposes as avoiding the front lines of World War I, maintaining and recuperating from his opium addiction, traveling extensively and living extravagantly. It's not just over the years he had three wives (two legal and one common-law), it's also that he had the bit of beginning one relationship before ending other, while enjoying dalliances on the side. At one point, while living in the South of France, he found his life so complicated that he had to his install new lover, his children's Swiss nanny, on his yacht in the harbor of Cannes, while his second wife remained at home.Something along the same lines could be said his art as well: the man got around. Some critics have compared Picabia to Picasso...
