[Peter Finch is a poet, writer, performer, walker and literary entrepreneur living in Cardiff. He has been a publisher, organisation manager, periodical editor, event organiser, literary agent and literary promoter. He was at the forefront of the UK’s small press revolution in the 60s and the 70s with his magazine Second Aeon and pioneered performance poetry in Wales during the 1980s. From 1974 to 1995 he ran the Oriel Bookshop in Cardiff. From 1996 to 2011 he was Chief Executive of Yr Academi Gymreig / The Welsh Academy, an organisation which was later rebranded as Literature Wales. He specialises in books about the Capital including the successful Real Cardiff series (4 vols – published by Seren Books), Edging The Estuary and the more recent Edging The City (Seren Books), and The Roots Of Rock From Cardiff To Mississippi And Back (Seren). His latest books written alongside the work of photographer John Briggs are Walking The Valleys and Walking Cardiff. If he’s anything from all the above he is a poet. His Collected Poems in two 500 page volumes appeared in 2022.]
