CCT6 Fair Eleanor O Christ Thee save
Thomas Kinsella
|
Thomas Kinsella, translator of The
Táin, here recites thirteen
of his own poems. The poems on side one reflect
Kinsella's view of life as an ordeal, and concern
themselves with the ordeal itself and how we deal with
it. On side two the poems deal with ideas of love and
order. |

CCT14 The Green Sailed Vessel
Robert Graves
|
Graves himself selected the works he speaks from
the massive body of a lifetime’s work. In addition to the poetry the
poet actually sings - with great good humour. |
 |
CCT18 Alternative Government
Francis Stuart
|
Francis Stuart, always an outsider, speaks of his
life and reads excerpts from his many published works. His
autobiographical reminiscences, philosophical remarks and views on
Irish literature, politics and religion shed light on a period of
turmoil in which he participated fully. |

Hugh Mac Diarmid
