Ian Hamilton Finlay was a renowned Scottish poet, artist, and garden designer, best known for his contributions to the field of concrete poetry.

His works often incorporated elements of nature, philosophy, and classical literature, reflecting a deep engagement with language and its visual representation.

His unique blend of literary and visual elements challenged traditional notions of both disciplines, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern art and literature.
