When in his seventieth year Roy Fisher published Interviews Through
Time (2000), he added and Selected Prose, which meant in effect
three pieces: 'Antebiography', 'Roy Fisher on Roy Fisher' and
'Talks for Words'. The enlarged second edition of Interviews
Through Time (2013), a volume of interviews only, made it possible
for those three pieces to join many others in this first
substantial gathering of Roy Fisher's occasional prose writings. An
Easily Bewildered Child: Occasional Prose 1963-2013 brings together
all his rare autobiographical sketches, the memoirs of his life as
a jazz pianist, his tributes to musicians, writers, and painters of
various kinds, a number of his book reviews, and comments on
classic forebears such as John Cowper Powys, Ezra Pound, the Black
Mountain poets, and Basil Bunting. All of these writings, as Fisher
notes, 'owe their origins to commissions, suggestions or various
forms of pressure from friends'. Together they provide a unique
guide to the complex sources and influences on such distinctive
works such as City, The Ship's Orchestra, and A Furnace as well as
Fisher's oeuvre of individual poems. As Peter Robinson notes in his
editor's Introduction, these writings in their various ways provide
'essential aids to those ramblers' who 'choose to stray' among the
poetry and imaginative prose of a key contemporary English poet.
