Log-in for full text

Chapter 1 explores Derek Jarman's first book A finger in the fishes mouth, a chapbook containing poems dating back to his student years. It considers the book’s postcard-poem form and reflects on its engagement with history, conceived of as existing in a perpetual present, as well as its coded autobiographical content.
