Ian Hamilton Finlay Books

Ian Hamilton Finlay was a Scottish artist renowned for his innovative work with concrete poetry, where the layout and typography of words contribute to the overall effect. His artistic practice evolved from writing stories and poems to creating 'poem-objects' inscribed into stone. He frequently integrated these works into natural settings, exemplified by his celebrated garden, Little Sparta. Finlay's oeuvre explores the relationship between language, art, and nature through visual and textual elements.
