Just read your piece on the Billy Banks after finding it through Google. Very informative & amusing. My children & myself pass the flats every day on the school run & after discussing their ominous-ness one too many times took a detour & investigated. We were not dissapointed - we found the place magnificently horrendous. We've wanted to know about its history ever since & couldn't have found a better teller - much appreciation. Off to read your other stuff now.

Hi,
Liked your site. I'm particularly interested in the docks, having been born there. If you're interested in Barry Tobin's new website, here's a link.He(like me) is one of the original members of the Deutsche Gesellschaft (Cardiff German society).

Thanks for the info. Very interesting! I was trying to find out the history of the George Trubey Fine Art Dealership at 26, Queen St. Arcade, Cardiff, in '1916.' I work at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee and while I was looking up your site one of my student workers, who works at the campus radio station, said he had hear of Cardiff because he had heard a lot of the musical groups from there. It is becoming such a small world isn't it? Anyway, if you know of anyone who can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks for the interesting info. on present day Cardiff.
Sincerely, a friend in Tennessee.

Cardiff, they say, is just a small village. Indeed, many a day I have stood almost still in almost one spot only to have old strangers pass me by with familiar greetings as if I had seen them only yesterday. Not six years, or ten years, ago. The internet only serves to enhance the village-ness. So here I find Mr Peter Finch! Whilst watching news of the death of a Pope on TV, I found curiosity: when did he visit Cardiff? 1982, of course, but the search results produce a Peter Finch Page. I can do nothing except look for a contact email or guestbook. I find one. So, hello Peter! Last seen in 1986 it was, when I was with What's Heppening and you one of many cherished supporters and contributors. Many years later I emigrated to America. Rhide Island. I am a technical developer for the worlds largest producer of classified ad magazines. Glad to feel the strength of old roots, Peter - hope you are well! Best wishes - Mike Southern

Great site. Thought one of the comments, 'What about the characters?'well worth considering. The piece on the Pearl reminded of my father, he worked on most of the building in Cardiff and died in 2003, aged 93. He was on the Pearl, and I was next door in the then Art college studying photography. I used to meet him for lunch on site. A couple of times we sat up on the girders and ate our sandwiches. And I took the chance to shoot some pics.
Cheers, Peter.

I wish there was a bit more biography so I could learn about his past and what he had to go through to become a writer.

As a Cardif born and Cardiff bred girl it's wonderful to read about places I used to know so much about. I am researching our Family history and it's amazing what myths and legends are turning up but I know all the Cardiff addresses are for real, starting in Gough St. in Temperance town in 1873 and going via Dumfries Place, Denton Rd. and ending in Wentloog Road, with my mother's death last year. Thanks for this lovely site.

I very much enjoyed reading about Cardiff and the docks/bay (boo) area. I was delighted to find Hamadryad park last summer - and still wonder at the fact the hospital isnt used for anything at all.
A quick question - do you have any idea what Hunter Street was used for originally? I live right at the top end (opposite the police station), and presume it was some kind of warehouse affair...
Many thanks and keep writing

Hello, I hope that this email reaches Peter Finch. I was very intrigued by Peters work in Budapest. I am a 31 year old set designer who trained at the Welsh College of Music and Drama and who lived in Cathays and Roarg for 5 years. I now live in London but my mum and sister have moved from Dorset to Cardiff. The other connection is that I have done some work for the Hungarian State Oper and indeed my girlfriend is a leading soprano there. I am spending more and more time there after falling in love with Budapest and my girlfriend, but not in that order! Want to relocate there ideally and would love to talk with Peter to discuss his work and to talk about future British collborations in Hungary. Best wishes to you.

This is actually a request for help...
I am a postgraduate journalism student at Cardiff School of Journalism and I am currently researching for an article I am going to write based on Elm Street in Roath.
I want to trace some of the history of the street and speak to current residents about their stories and experiences whilst living there. The article would consist of a number of short interviews with residents - perhaps the oldest, a particularly lively character, one who lives in one of the brightest houses on the street etc. Through their stories I would want to get a general idea of Cardiff as a whole and the changing face of the city.
I was wondering if you have any spare time for me to come and talk to you about what you have discovered about the street in your studies. Also if you have any contacts with residents on the street I wondered if you might put me in contact with anyone who might have a story to tell.
My deadline is Monday 9th February so I would appreciate an early response if possible.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I shared the same 'digs' in London with him during the early 50's. I was sorry to learn of his premature death through a visit to the local library here. I lost touch with him in the 60's, however I am grateful for your information about him since then. Thank-you so much. Yours Denis Drew

Cardiff multi-cultural? Don't make me laugh. With all due respect, only a white person could make that statement :-) (and only a drunk person as stupid as me could come up with an all-encompassing generalisation as the above guaranteed to get me hate mail).
Yes, Cardiff can be considered multi-cultural - if you merely take the definition to mean that non-white folk live here. They do, quelle surprise.
Do they integrate? Are white people seen at bhangra events? Are non-white people seen at Cardiff Stadium events or Cardiff City football matches? Do white Cardiffian women show much flexibility in wanting to date non-white men? Hell, no.
Until that happens, then Cardiff is not multi-cultural. The end. Till then, everyone's just slapping themselves on the back about how multi-cultural they are, on the basis they know bhangra is not a boxing event.

I was browsing in 'Google images' and came across 'Cardiff', then typed in 'Cardiff in the World' and saw your fascinating site. I live near Roath Park.
I have been to 6 Cardiffs in the States (is there a map showing ALL of them ?), and aim to pass through Cardiff IL and Cardiff TN this summer. Cardiff TX didn't really exist, and Cardiff CO is way past its glory days.
Cardiff Maryland is the most impressive, Cardiff NJ is mainly a shopping mall suburb of Atlantic City. Cardiff, near Syracuse NY, is famous for the Cardiff Giant hoax, of course.
You have neglected to mention another - Cardiff in New Zealand, near New Plymouth, with Mount Taranaki as a backdrop.
Many thanx,

I was born in cardiff and read everthing I can get my hands on about my old home town! Great site, full of interesting facts. I really liked the info about Womanby Street as a teenager I would hang out at the Pepperpot a really small bar in the basemnet of one of the oldest buildings, neat to see the street again. I am also researching The Bute Dowries, my grandmother was a recipient but I have little information about the gift. If anyone has any information, please email me at Abigailsparty@att.net.
thanks

Dear Peter Finch
Good news since I last emailed! My first poetry collection has been published this February (2003) by Flarestack (ed. Charles Johnson), called The Skin - worth a look? I'd be interested (a bit scared! but interested...) to have you review it, if you have time?
Also, we've moved, I'm now back home, back to my roots, in Cumbria.
I could ask Charles (ed.) to send you a copy if you like, to review?
Keep up the good work!
best wishes
Geraldine (Green)

Peter, you say in How To Publish Your Poetry that
'There are also magazines such as First Time which only uses previously unpublished writers and The Whistle House in which everything is contributed pseudonymously by one J. Wistlin.'
I would like to say that I had two poems published in The Whistle House, & do not want anyone to think they were written by J.Wistlin.

I saw Peter on the telly
talking books, and Cardiff marsh.
Some think bogs are dark and smelly,
this strikes me as somewhat harsh.
Westgate Street once ran with waters
bound to flow, now barrage-bound.
Like most cities this one alters,
as the seasons roll around.

just finished reading real cardiff--much enjoyed-- a trip down memory lane as i taught in canton in the 70's. john briggs is a very good friend and gave us your book.i remember in 1979 going down to the docks with my husband and john to take photographs-i was heavily pregnant at the time and remember sleeping in the back of our little mini and wondering why on earth they wanted to take pictures of the docklands. well i remember the pint of dark in the old sea lock! now i understand the importance of their photographs, and although i will go down to butetown once more, from what i've read i would rather remember it as it was. thanks for a great book.

I was given a copy of 'Real Cardiff' by my brother, we grew up over the mountain in Caerphilly with an inbuilt suspicion of those from Cairdiff. They all seemed wide boys, unlike the refined folk of 'The Valleys', and to be avoided at all times. It was a place where we shopped, went for entertainment but never wandered far beyond the precincts of Queen Street and never aware of the life that went on there.
I enjoyed the potted histories of the localities, those that I knew and those that I did not, interspersed with character anecdotes. It made me think a lot about pre-industrial Cardiff Indeed, one could almost call it a travel book. When I go back, I will look with greater interest.

In bed recovering from a chest infection. read real cardiff in one sitting.i just had to tell you how much i enjoyed it.i first came down to cardiff from the mountains of gogland in 1967 to study at the art college and have stayed here ever since (except for a short spell in aber mid seventies).so i've lived in caerdydd longer than anywhere else, although my accent (and my nose) are still as broad as they were then (but i'm okay with that).anyway, your wry observations, eye for detail, subtle irony, and evocative use of lists of single words or very short sentences really brought home to me the immense changes that the city has undergone and indeed is still undergoing.when i'm better i'm going to try one of your walks. diolch yn fawr.

As an immigrant Englishman I recognise many of the themes of change not being equal to progress from elsewhere. Seems parts of the rubbish town with negligible identity I left behind have followed me! I've seen enough change in my few years in Cardiff to know something of what you're talking about; I appreciate the efforts to hold on to real social history.

Hello Peter. I am a stoodint at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama here in Cardiff. I was a mature student on entry being 27 in my first year. I have found one of your poems and may use it in a poetry competition next week in London. 'To Live in Wales'. I like your comment on the alcohol fuelled city that Cardiff is becoming. I am indiginous to The North, (northern Ireland) and I am somewhat appalled by the attention and hype given to alcohol consumtion. I think it is a big coverup. A sense that 'we're all okay as long as we can go out and get loaded on what ever alco-pop is cool this week.' How can the average 30 year old hwho has lived in Northern Ireland all their life claim to be normal.
I enjoyed your site

Hi Peter,
The site still looks great, and I am looking forward to your book about Cardiff, as I am very fond of the city, if only as a visitor these days.
I also wanted to say that your work on the Writer's Handbook 2003 is exemplary. Particularly glad to see that haiku are now coming to be regarded as part of the UK poetry mainstream. I was also thrilled to see that the Press that published my Selected, Poetry Monthly, gets some good coverage, as Martin Holroyd, the ed., is one of the nicest guys in the business.
Best Wishes

Peter,
Extremely funny (but true!) page on your web page about gluten-free food.
My partner is GF just recently and has gone thru some of the same anguish as yourself.
If you still have a hankering after some GF foods try the range of homemade cakes at wemadeitourselves.com - superb! Recommend the polenta shortbread (I like it and have no GF allergy)
The person who comes up with GF beer with all it's characteristics will definitely be on to their first million.
Hope you find out what affects you eventually - it's the not knowing which gets you down, I'm sure.
Regards,
Alan

Also, I'm interested in the reading tomorrow at Waterstones Chester, on the recently published book on the River Dee - I've written a poem about the Ceiriog and had thought of doing something similar for that river, before I heard about the reading tomorrow!
Many thanks,

The words are all too nice. They convey meaning and have been written with thought and care. The sentences all have their own rhythm and behind them are pictures you only see when you read them again. The writings are the sad ramblings of a man with a genuine feeling for his subject. It is all wasted on the City of Cardiff. It would be a better site with more:
Cynicism
Bile
Duplicity
Egotism
Betrayal.
Reflect what it is like to live here, where the Council undertake sleazy deals to destroy beautiful places and all the socialist politicians regard Animal Farm as the manula for fare and succesful local government.

As a member of one of Cardiff's bands during the early 80's I bought and read John Williams second novel and found that it read like a tour guide of every venue that we ever played in. He mentioned The Montmerence club ('Montys' colloquially) but I couldn't remember where it was. Your website provided the answer (plus a mention of Grassroots, where we used to rehe#### quite often).

As a lover of both Wales and poetry I was fascinated. You convey simple truths simply and truthfully which is the essence of poetry.
One of my favourites is A Welsh Wordscape, which is very funny, very sad and constructed with great elegance. Not a single word is redundant.
I'm in process of constructing a website for ex-pats at http://www.findinbritain.com and would love to include this poem on a poetry page. I would of course be happy to provide a Link to your own site.

Peter, I have been a fan of yours (though I must admit not
actually your work) for many years now. I remember most
the first time I read 'How to Publish Your Poetry' and was
captivated- I didn't really read your notes about improving
ones work before moving on to the other chapters, I just
jumped in, headfirst. But I'm glad to say that I have learnt
my lesson now, if the hard way. I know this makes me sound
like I have a poor social life (!) but I find myself reading
the latter title along with 'How to Publish Yourself' and your
sections in the 'Writers Handbook' rather frequently.
All I can say is, thank you Peter. You have certainly given
me a kick in the right direction, and I'm sure many more
successful/soon-to-be-successful poets have benefited from
your work too.
Thanks once again.

Excellent site, Peter, though as others have said here, if you want comments on the whole site I'll get back to you in about 3 years..
I have absolutely no comment on those groovy old photos of you in a 'Fan Man'-stylee, obviously.
What about setting up an ongoing Epic Poem on the site - visitors can add lines, take up themes, etc. as time goes by (and doesn't it)? You might end up with the longest poem ever written on the site: that'll be publicity for you, publicity for writers in Wales, but it'll upset your ISP no end when they see how much space you're using.
Anyway, enough banter. Great site!

Hi Peter! Just wanted to say that I am really glad to have discovered your fascinating website with more poetry-related links than I have ever seen and some interesting and descriptive writings too. I spent absolutely ages browsing through it all and also had a look at the Second Aeon information. As it happens, I have a fairly well-preserved copy of double issue 8&9 here, although it has lost the poster poem, which, I seem to remember, adorned various walls and has long vanished into the mists of time. Fred Daly, who has his work in this particular double edition, is a friend of mine and I saw him the other week at the Incredible String Band gig at the Coal Exchange. Yes, its a small world indeed! I shall be returning soon, and on future visits, to check out as many links as I can, and thanx, Peter, for putting one to my own. If we link them all together the world will be smaller still and bigger at the same time! Best wishes, Steve Andrews aka The Bard of Ely.

Dear Peter, just found your web site and its great - wish there were more.
There should really be a list of poets web sites at the poetry society
so that people can zap around. At the moment, so much of what's around
is crap.
If you want a look at my own site its www.kathleenjones.co.uk
Can I put a link in from mine to yours?

Enjoyed Peter's chapters in The Writer's Handbook 2001. Reading these prompted me to browse to this site. For brevity and branding purposes suggest that for promotional purposes 'www.peterfinch.com' is used rather than 'dialspace.dial.pipex.com/peter.finch/'.
The first address above would appeal to most of your audience. It has a sense of balance that poets would understand.

A facinating and very thought provoking article on Cardiff.
I was a student there until 1990 and will be attending a
university reunion there in December.
As a student you often feel your university town/city was the
best, often a reflection of the heady lives of students. Cardiff
really was and obviously still is a vibrant, multicultural city
with a strong European identity. This is something all residents
of Wales should be proud off.

Hi Peter
Great site, however, I can't find the answer in your book on how to present 2 Volumes, in a Series of Novels, to a major Book Seller - such as WH Smiths.
Have the Novels got to be in print, or will they buy from a synopsis of the Novels?
The third Novel in the same Series, Science Fiction, is in the writing.
Can you advise?

Hello Peter,
Just looked through your archive pictures, and I realise we have probably met before, if not since...at Welsh functions? I was at the Beat Dreams event in Plymouth in 1987. I don't remember speaking to you directly, but I do remember a funny story about Ginsberg's father?!!!!
Anyway I wonder if you remember me - I was heavily pregnant at the time, my daughter was born in early August of that year. I also wonder whether you have more photographs of that event, as I'd be very interested to see them...
I haven't had an indepth look at your web site yet, so can't comment fully, but it's so far so good.
With best wishes,

Peter Finch would be delighted with 'Y Bardd Cocos', a late nineteent century verser from 'Y Borth'. But, 'Y bardd Cocos' had a mite more style then Peter; the old guy propsed to Queen Victoria, and lauded her with his verbose but colorful verse. Regretably, his ardour was not returned, and who knows, there might exist today a monarch in England who is not entirel dotty. How about Peter trying it out with Liz? The 'Bardd Cocos' did, after all, set an enviable precedent.

Jaisini
Manifesto
(short version)
Gleitzeit
Gleitzeit style based on depiction of visual flexibility with theoretical flexibility.
A painting which purpose is to achieve composition of enclosure.
Art based on the depiction of a circle evolution of understanding and seeing.
A kind of art which draws upon imagery and seeks to reveal and abstract idea of the connection within.
It's flexible because it has multiple principles.
Paintings with a capacity to change visually by the artistic magic changing your subconscious mind.
It is a session of Hypnosis which controls you by a disorganized absolute harmony of everything expected from a 'nonexistent' picture.
It depends upon the pattern of line as a primal creator of whatever associated or disassociated from the theme.
The artist's mind is the superior beginning of the line, but the line is free and emancipated.
Flexi is a new neo-pro-anti-post

I've just looked at your photo gallery Mr Finch and I've
realised that you remind me of a character in Gunter Grass's
THE TIN DRUM, which I have just finished reading, although
for the life of me, I cannot remember his name,he appears
near the end of the novel he's married and has a cabinet
filled with drinking glasses, every time his wife gets him
angry he opens the cabinet and throws a few on the floor
and across the room he's wife then sweeps up the remains.
Please do not think me a nut/(or) strange person in bringing
this to your attention.
I myself, am in the last six months of my b.a fine art
i am mildly dislexic. Language is a fasinating thing,I love
the printed format the smell of old books the colour of
old paper its fragility.words can crumble can't they?
Your web site has impressed me very much it is packed with
information. please write back it would be nice to have
some kind of correspondence oh and hello!.
oskar the main character in THE TIN DRUM gave him a nickname
he was called the hedgehog if i remember rightly
(no offence ment).

Just had a quick look, I'll be looking over it again, seems
there is stacks of info which I will find useful. I've only
been writing since last April and I've just reached the stage
where I'm confident enough to have my poetry displayed to the
public. I've got about 170 completed poems and most of my work
at the moment is restructuring some of them for publication,
I have about 130 on my website which are 'centered' for suitable
web viewing. I'm finding that I need to reconstruct them in
different ways to please different publishers. This is a time
consuming job, these EDITORS are very self opinionated and I'm
getting the feeling that a lot of them are trying to make young
writers conform to their way of thinking, regarding to what is
and what isn't good poetry. There is a real danger of objectivity
in poetry disappearing it is obviously deminishing in some circles
and if this continues Poetry will soon be defined as
'Personal Opinions Expressed Though Restricting Yours'.
Poetry in my opinion is the most diverse of all arts, and a good mixture
goes down well most lovers of this art. I'm only at the stage of trying
to please small press publishers, seems I've got a hard rough road ahead
of me, still, I'll plod on because I love what I read and I'm pleased with
what I write, I'm not all that crazy about being accepted in the elite circle,
but I would like to be read by the majority of my fellows - the common people.
If anyone can point me in the way to an unbiased EDITOR that would print
something like the following I'd be obliged.
'Taken Without A Fight'
Laid down on sands of time
laid back with no regret,
not yet;
no fear of oncoming tides
encircling, engulfed within
where death's sting abides.
Life's rapture already
sodden, a quick re-think,
no reprieve, breath stops.
An empty bottle floats.
Long time companions
both drained
of life's pains
and exhilarations.

Dear Peter Finch,
Your book on publishing poetry, the earlier edition, has been a constant companion, since purchase at Times Square, New York City, many years ago.
Its common sense approach and its sure sense of not exciting expectations for more than the market can bear, which is almost nothing, is refreshing.
For this reason alone, the formidable competition is not formidiable at all.
People do tend to chatter on about the market for new poets (who can neither be shot and mounted, nor smoked and served, publically) as if this was more than whistling in the dark.
I look forward to reading the latest edition which, on the basis of the trial chapter, is superb. On the basis of the material here, you do encourage writers to actually break down and purchase subscriptions themselves - very daring!
Thank You,
