That is sad. But\nin my reckoning there will be six,not four.\n\nI wonder whether Mr. Simmons has not\nheard of M Roy McFadden and Padraic Fiacc,\nboth of whom are still living and writing\npoetry in Belfast. With a little bit of\nluck he might be able to find some of their\nwork in the Library of the New University\nof Ulster at Coleraine.\n\nRobert Greacen\nAddress\n\nSimmons' poem discussed various contemporary\npoets who have left/still live in N.I.\n\nIt was quite entertaining in a doggerel-ish\nway,but he obvigously thinks poetry/began\nwith J.Simmons. Love to you both -\nRobert\nhe lectures at N.U.U\n3 Foxes sent to Lond. Lit. Edrs\n","Type":"Text"}}]
