"The latest offering
from Cardiff's unofficial poet laureate - we're big fans of Peter's
wry, sparse, clear-sighted prose"
Cardiff Life -
Issue 21, Christmas 2008
Peter Finch is a fine psychogeographer,
a consummate chronicler of place both literal and etheral, able to
chop words with gleeful precision.... Real Wales is a reminder
that he who first cooked up the concept remains its sharpest protagonist."
- Mike Parker (on Real Wales) in New Welsh Review #84,
May, 2009
"I was in hospital
in the south of France a few weeks ago with deep vein thrombosis and
I read Peter Finch's Real Wales, which my daughter had bought for
me for Father's Day. What a delight it was to read. It gave me more
information about places that I'm quite familiar with and much about
places that I am not familiar with but will now probably visit. It
was judgmental in several places but without being overly so but what
I liked most was the humour in the book, there were many parts where
I had to suppress laughing out aloud in the hospital ward. Highly
recommended."
