C.\n\n14 Apr 77\nreplied:16 Apl   \n\nMy dear Derek,\n\nYour nice letter of 12th arrivedthis a.m. I saw\nreviews of INSIDE THE 40's in D.T. and Guardian\ntoday - what a lot of space.\u2019 The book will be\nbought,I\u2019m sure,by every library in the country.\nAnd there must be plenty of reviews to come.\nThe BBN review,though short, will probably do a\nbit of good overseas. I certainly hope so. It\nseems to me that bits of the book might be sold\nin the U.S. And have you thought of BBC radio\npossibilities?- Radio 3 or Radio 4: A number of\n40\u2019s poems,introduced by you,for instance ?\n\nI\u2018ve revised my 40\u2019s piece - it comes to\nabout 9,000 words with about a third on my\nmemories of London,Dublin,Belfast respectively.\nYou will remember that originally thex essay\nformed 3 articles in the Irish Times. But who\nthe hell wants 9,000 words ?\n\nRe: STONY THURSDAY. If you cd mention it\nsomewhere (not my poems so much as the mag\nitself) I\u2019d be grateful. I\u2019ve only corresponded\nwith John Liady but he seems a nice and capable\nyoung fellow (only 20, I hear). It seems to me x\nvery creditable for a young chap in a provincial\nIrish town to bring out, something of the kind -\nthis is the 4th issue; and he did a nice\nillustrated broadsheet. He doesn\u2019t pay but I like\nhis enterprise. Let Longley subsidise Liddy.\n\nThe Fox dream poem really is based on a dream\n- I didn\u2019t change a thing. \"No prizes for inter-\npretations\u201d is intended to fox the reader.\n\nRent up \u00a34 a month as from next May, due to\nbig increase in rates. Ugh!\nhope you enjoyed Ventnor.\nLove to you both -\nRobert\n","Type":"Text"}}]
