Public poetry - Peter Finch's work has been incorporated into two public structures in Cardiff. Across the entrance, glass frontage, foyer and main corridor of BT's Internet Data Centre in Cardiff Bay is an extensive extract from Finch's post-modern interpretation of the work, life and influence of Wales' greatest twentieth century poet, R S Thomas. The BT IDC is situated in the west Bay, on the Ferry Road peninsular. To the east, running across the top of the re-claimed Lamby Way refuse dump, is a Finch commission which recycles itself as it goes. The structure is visible from the road alongside the Rumney River. He is currently working on a commission which will inform a memorial to the Red House, the pub which, until recently, stood on Ferry Road.

Ruddy-faced British star Peter Finch was raised by relatives in France, India, and Australia after his parents divorced when he was two. He had several odd jobs during the Depression before working as a comedian's stooge in vaudeville. He began working in the legitimate theater in 1935 then in 1936 debuted onscreen in the Australian film Dad and Dave Come to Town. While sporadically appearing in Australian films over the next decade-plus, Finch continued working on stage and formed his own company; eventually he ... became Australia's top radio actor. His work impressed Laurence Olivier, who brought him to London in 1949 where he performed impressively on the stage and landed supporting roles in numerous films. In the mid-'50s he began getting better film roles, becoming one of Britain's leading male stars.

Peter Finch (1947-) was born in Cardiff. He has published over twenty volumes of poetry and made his mark as an experimental poet whose literary allegiances are with the sound and concrete experimentalists of the US, UK and the rest of Europe. Even today, Finch is a unique figure in the literatures of Wales, experimenting with tape, cut text and the internet and engaging with performance. He has widened his canvas to include work in more traditional forms. He helped introduce new American and European poets to British readers in the seventies as editor of the ground breaking magazine, Second Aeon. After twenty years as a bookseller he is now the Chief Executive of Academi, the national promotion agency for literature in Wales.
