A Finger in the Fishes Mouth by Derek Jarman writing process the sinking of the MonaA facsimile edition of Derek Jarmans sole, early, extremely rare poetry book A Finger in the Fishes Mouth, originally published in 1972. Heavily illustrated from Jarman's collection of postcards, the book combines text and visual imagery in a way which foreshadows his subsequent style as an artist and filmmaker. With the majority of the first edition having been destroyed by Jarman, this makes available a missing, significant piece of his oeuvre.
