Tom Paulin on the Rhyming Weavers

The Blackstaff Press first published John Hewitt鈥檚 鈥楻hyming Weavers and other Country Poets of Antrim and Down鈥� in 1974: now it has been reprinted. One of the poems in the collection, James Campbell鈥檚 鈥楾he epicure鈥檚 address to bacon鈥� was read by John Clifford on a 麻豆社 Radio Ulster programme made in 1975, written and presented by John Hewitt himself - and we hear a couple of extracts from the programme. The new foreword for the re-published book was written by Tom Paulin and he talks to Conal Gillespie about his memories of the first edition of the anthology. (Broadcast 10th October 2004)
