I got a nice\nrevi w of the Fox book - only 2 yrs late! -\nin the latest issue. It came from Andrew\nWaterman who first wrote a long introductory\nsection on Ulster poets,damning them generally\nand in particular Michael Longley. I\u2019ve written\nto Waterman and had a very nice reply \u2014 he will\nread to the Group when in London. But if Longley\nshd hear of RG-Waterman contacts,well........\n\nWhich reminds me/ to tell youthat I have put in for another\nBursary.... '\n\nYes,Roy\u2019s book is out. Nicely produced,I\nthought,and not provincial-looking. He is\ndisappointed not to have a London publisher -\nChatto turned it down. Roy is somewhat contra-\ndictory in attitude: a strong local patriot,he\ndislikes all local writers and their works with\none or two exceptions. His style and content has\naltered little through the years. Good,I think,\nbut I feel he ought to strike out into some new\nline and not keep chewing over the old Ulster/\nIrish themes. But do say a good word about his\nbook if you can.\n\nNot much else to tell you. I enclose a\nnew Fox poem. The facts about Giuliano are taken\nfrom Gavin Maxwell's book,\"God Protect Me from\nMy Friends\".\nlove to you both - Robert-\n","Type":"Text"}}]
