The essays included here cover the range of Fisher’s career.
Redell Olsen and cris cheek discuss Fisher’s relations to Fluxus
and the documentary. Will Rowe approaches Place in terms of the
large-scale poem as a heuristic device, a ‘practice of
knowledge’. Pierre Joris addresses the important topic of health
in Fisher’s work. Will Montgomery considers Brixton as a
‘sounded space’ in the work of Allen Fisher and Linton Kwesi
Johnson, while Steven Hitchins tackles one aspect of Fisher’s
significant engagement with science: fractals as a way of
negotiating the discontinuity and noise of everyday life. Robert
Sheppard discusses The Apocalyptic Sonnets as the link between
Fisher’s two large-scale projects, Place and Gravity as a
consequence of shape; Scott Thurston offers a close-reading of
‘Mummer’s Shout’ (from Gravity) in terms of its compositional
procedures; Clive Bush engages with ‘Philly Dog’ and the
political limitations of Deleuze and Guattari; and Calum Hazell
explores Sputtor in terms of collage, quotation and poetic
knowledge. The volume closes with two collaborative pieces: an
interview between Fisher, Paige Mitchell and Shamoon Zamir, and a
selection of documents relating to PhillyTalks #19 with Karen Mac
Cormack (17 October 2001).
