A back-window on Belfast opened after forty years by W. R. RODGERS
This word's-eye view of Belfast is partly autobiographical, largely imaginary, and wholly true.
Produced by Sam Hanna Bell
Second broadcast of this production
Fourteen years ago W. R. Rodgers , the Irish poet who died earlier this year, first took a look from the window of The Return Room at the Belfast of his boyhood. Tonight's programme, a new production. was first broadcast in 1967. ' Our house.,' says Rodgers, stood on a sandy ridge overlooking the river valley. High up in the back gable there was the " return room." It led nowhere but back again. But from the window I could see across the city ... the city with the brick-red face and the bowler hat of smoke ... the city of ships and shawlies, doles and doyles ... '
