And there must be plenty of reviews to come. The BBN review,though short, will probably do a bit of good overseas. I certainly hope so. It seems to me that bits of the book might be sold in the U.S. And have you thought of BBC radio possibilities?- Radio 3 or Radio 4: A number of 40’s poems,introduced by you,for instance ? I‘ve revised my 40’s piece - it comes to about 9,000 words with about a third on my memories of London,Dublin,Belfast respectively. You will remember that originally thex essay formed 3 articles in the Irish Times. But who the hell wants 9,000 words ? Re: STONY THURSDAY. If you cd mention it somewhere (not my poems so much as the mag itself) I’d be grateful. I’ve only corresponded with John Liady but he seems a nice and capable young fellow (only 20, I hear). It seems to me x very creditable for a young chap in a provincial Irish town to bring out, something of the kind - this is the 4th issue; and he did a nice illustrated broadsheet. He doesn’t pay but I like his enterprise. Let Longley subsidise Liddy. The Fox dream poem really is based on a dream - I didn’t change a thing. "No prizes for inter- pretations” is intended to fox the reader. Rent up £4 a month as from next May, due to big increase in rates. Ugh! hope you enjoyed Ventnor. Love to you both - Robert Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:16
