I’m forwarding information on a distribution service which Billy Mills is operating from Ireland. But first a poem by one of the writers on his list, Maurice Scully, printed in _the Beau 3_. Cheers, Randolph Healy. *********************** ON RE-READING LOUIS MACNEICE You, teacher of poetry with chalk and hangover, The books you can sometimes share And all your worries and your guilt, relax over this part Of the curriculum at least, a shy man, once trapped in a classroom too, Who surely foresaw such grotesque foreplay with his work. Across the pages the pencil-marks give artificial emphasis, Quibble, irritate, yet tend to make one in the end forgive With _Irony_ and _Typical_ in some swotting pupil’s neat stilt. And metaphors get correct signs, And famous lyrics Are honoured with an asterisk. Learnt by heart, but now years later, at a bus-stop in the rain, say, In Birmingham, London, Dublin let come back the formal echo Of some lines of his as a form of homage In so many other minds around the planet, The songs, knowing at last how they should be sung, _Con brio, pianissimo, tete-a-tete._ ********************* alternative Irish poetries a distribution list abbreviations pamph. stapled or stitched pamphlet pbk.
