The poems are raw, rhythmic and very intimate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1369\"\u003eThis is Jarman as artist testing materials, instincts, and ways of seeing. Its rarity and destruction have given it near-mythic status, but what matters more is how clearly it foreshadows the aesthetic logic that would define Jarman’s later work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bower studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43428044669011,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/0268\/2707\/files\/608f4ee3-a7ec-4433-a0d4-d3425e8dc617.jpg?v=1768458779","url":"https:\/\/bowerbooks.com\/products\/a-finger-in-the-fishes-mouth-by-derek-jarman","provider":"bower books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
