Rob Dickins - The Spider: Harry Fainlight’s Psychedelic Poesy

Harry Fainlight (1935-1982) was an Anglo-American poet, who bridged the poetic gap between establishment and counter-culture sensibilities, and also the worlds of the North American Beat and London Underground. Having only published one short collection during his lifetime, Fainlight is perhaps best remembered now for his ill-fated rendition of The Spider at the International Poetry Incarnation (1965) at the Royal Albert Hall. It was not without good reason, however, that Allen Ginsberg described him as ‘the most gifted English poet of his generation.’ This talk, while focusing on his drug and poetic experimentation of the mid-1960s, also seeks to recapture the story of this extraordinary poet.
