Allen Fisher (born 1944) is a poet, painter, publisher, teacher and performer associated with the British Poetry Revival.
Fisher was born in London and started writing poetry in 1962. His early long project Place was published in a series of books and pamphlets in the 1970s. He worked on a project called Gravity as a consequence of shape from 1982 which he completed in 2007. This was followed by a book of emblems (poem-image-commentary) called "Proposals" and, in 2014, a collage book of poetry, visual images and prose quotations called "SPUTTOR". As editor of Spanner and "New London Pride", he has published many of the Revival poets. He was also co-editor of Aloes Books. His last retrospective painting show was in Hereford Museum & Art Gallery in 1993. He has over 150 publications in his name consisting of art documentation, poetry and theory. Forthcoming in 2015 is a book of essays "Imperfect Fit: Aesthetic Function, Facture and Reception" regarding American and British Poetry & Art Since 1950 and other essays on poetics. Also forthcoming: a "Companion" to his work with essays by contemporaries and an "Allen Fisher Reader", both due in 2014-15.
