Book excerpt: Roy Fisher is known internationally for his witty, anarchic poetry which plays the language, pleasures the imagination, and teases the senses. In Standard Midland, he confronts and worries at nuances of perception and the politics of understanding. Many of the poems are concerned with landscapes: experienced, imagined, or painted, particularly the scarred and beautiful North Midlands landscape in which he has lived for nearly thirty years.
