	Jacket 12 — Nate Dorward — on Roy Fisher
		Fisher’s poetry has become less formally unpredictable since the mid-1970s: he no longer uses prose, preferring a tightly marshalled free verse, and the urban surrealism of a book like City is replaced by a more straightforward discursive or loco-descriptive verse.
		One aspect of this modernism is exemplified in Fisher’s hostility in the poem to a debased rationality which enforces clear and authoritative distinctions, whether in the realms of politics or Christianity: Fisher’s poem instead prefers to blur distinctions, in particular that between the living and the dead.
		Fisher writes as one whose wonder has been awakened by subatomic particles and multi-dimensionality, much as a Christian poet’s would be by angels or the incarnation.

	Marjorie Perloff--ROY FISHER’S ‘LANGUAGE BOOK’
		And the discussion moves on, as is typical of Fisher commentary in the seventies, to the question of the poet’s relationship to the American ‘open form’ poetics of William Carlos Williams, Charles Olson, and Black Mountain.
		Fisher’s ‘light’ is an ironized version of Wordsworth’s ‘celestial light’ but it isn’t clear whether its source is natural (like the ‘dusty sun’) or artificial like the ‘Red lights for peace’ or ‘Peace tails’ (‘tales’).
		Like Fisher, Silliman relies on metonymy and pun (e.g., ‘the cast is clear’) rather than metaphor; his sentences and syntactically ambiguous phrases don’t ‘follow’, and their referents are often obscure, meaning arising from accretion and repetition (‘The hammer of birds’, "Water hammer’) rather than logic or temporal sequence.

		Fisher holds the franchise record for wins by a head coach with 98 victories and has amassed more regular season wins than any AFC head coach over the last six seasons with 61.
		Fisher was a perfect fit for the Oilers, who were looking for a young, aggressive coach with experience in the "46" defense.
		Fisher holds the franchise mark for wins with 98 over his 10-year coaching career and ranks third among NFL head coaches (Dungy and Reid) with 61 victories since 1999.

		As Fisher is quick to point out, his descriptions of city life and everyday objects thus assume a political valence: “the world is made particularly in its social manifestations, in its economics, by mental models.
		His parallels between Fisher and Larkin are quite compelling, and he effectively argues that both poets “undertake a programmatic disennobling of the soul of romanticism” (75).
		In distinguishing Fisher’s interest in place, Kerrigan explains that he is concerned with the semiotic experience of it through the sense, “not as neutral receptors, but as filters on what can be known, as organs which construct space” (19).

	SparkNotes: The Natural: Analysis of Major Characters
		Roy's desire for Memo does not come from love, but merely childish lust; he does not want to take on the responsibility of being with Iris, a grandmother, which would make him a grandfather.
		Memo is not at all the nurturing life force that Roy, as a symbolic vegetative god, should be with: her breast is "sick," and she claims to be "strictly a dead man's woman"—meaning, specifically, the late Bump Baily, but more symbolically men who have no life in them.
		As mentioned elsewhere, Pop Fisher represents the Arthurian figure of "The Fisher King." He is the ailing king with the strange, inexplicable illness—athlete's foot of the hands—and his health is tied to that of the land.

		Fisher supplemented his income by working most nights ‘playing in Dixieland bands, bebop quartets and Black Country dance bands; for a while I was the token white in the Andy Hamilton Caribbean Combo.’ He played in jazz clubs, town halls, village halls, strip clubs, dance halls, drinking clubs and hotels.
		Fisher’s reading of it — on a vinyl recording he made for the tiny Amber label in 1977 — sounds almost like the voiceover to a documentary or an exhibition of photojournalism: an unusually artful, strange and disjunct documentary or exhibit to be sure, and one that could only be shot in fl and white.
		Roy Fisher’s publishing history has been a mess, as it customarily is for those poets consigned to the margins who have managed to persist at their art over many years.

		Fisher has described himself as "a Midlander, which is a very particular sort of race.
		An essential quality in Fisher's aesthetic is openness - of form, subject and meaning - an attitude celebrated in his elegy for the poet, Asa Benveniste, "your eyebrows arched/so high as to hold/nothing excluded that might want in".
		Fisher's own softly-spoken, ruminative tones suggest a mind speaking to itself, exploring an internal geography with tenacity and precision.

		The Thing about Roy Fisher is the first critical book to be dedicated to the work of this outstanding poet, who has won many admirers for his explorations of the modem city, his experiments with perception and sensory experience, his jazz-inspired prose, and his political and cultural comedies.

		The Thing about Roy Fisher ends with a full and up-to-date bibliography; an essential starting point for further study of this versatile and complex writer, whose centrality and importance within modern English and European poetry is now more than ever apparent.

		Born in 1930, Roy Fisher has worked as a teacher and academic, as a gigging jazz pianist, but above all as a poet.
		Fisher is often compared to the Americans Robert Creeley and Charles Olson, and it is true that his work was profoundly influenced by American poets.
		A few years ago, Fisher made a series of very funny radio programmes about his years as a jazz pianist, and there are some fine poems about musicians he admires.

		The Long and the Short of It celebrates the 50-year-long writing career of Roy Fisher and the all-too-short 75 years (thus far) he has lived on this planet.
		Roy Fisher’s most notable achievements have included his exploration of the modern city, his experiments with perception and sensory experience, his jazz-inspired prose and his political and cultural comedies.
		The Long and the Short of It covers the entire range of Fisher’s work, from its fraught beginnings in the 1950s through major texts of the 1960s and 1970s as City, The Ship’s Orchestra and ‘Wonders of Obligation’ to A Furnace, his 1980s masterpiece, and beyond.

	Fisher - Interviews Through Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The origins of this book lies in my conviction that Roy Fisher’s interviews, all of which are now very difficult to find, contained a great deal of information that would be of use to readers and students of his work and should therefore once again be made available.
		The interviews that had hitherto been published – the majority of them between 1970 and 1985 – tended to concentrate on his earlier work, and thus arose the idea of commissioning a new interview which would concentrate on the period starting with the publication of A Furnace.
		Having reached this stage, it was clear too that the review of his own book The Dow Low Drop that Roy carried out for the magazine The Rialto also fitted well into the overall scheme of things, and made an amusing conclusion to the constructed narrative that was then in development.
