I was amused to see Robin recall Hughie Gallaher. A god in the
NorthEast as well. What about Charlie Tully? I remember Charlie
sitting on the ball at the corner flag at Celtic Park. I cant
remember who CEltic were playing that day. It might have been
my father's team Clyde.
I was of the Donald Dewar/John Smith era at Glasgow. Do you
remember the Albert Luthuli debate?
But as this is a proper poetry group I had better mention
Tom McGrath and Alan Spence. Alan's haiku book was a good
read last year. I never knew Kenneth White but dont really
think he had the gift for language but in French he cut himself
out as quite a poet. Tom wrote a poem 'SArdines' about a
little dog that I liked very much.
