(George Russell ) and, Richard Rowley read by Beatrice Hurwitz and Allan McClelland
' A.E.' (George Russell ), poet-painter-mystic who died a few years ago, is often described as Ulster's greatest poet. Though he was born at Portadown, he spent most of his life in Southern Ireland, and with Yeats and George Moore was a prominent figure in the Irish Literary Revival ; his quaint figure flits through the pages of Moore's ' Hail and Farewell '. He founded and edited The Irish Statesman, and he was one of those who believed in Ireland's future in agriculture. Richard Rowley , on the other hand, stayed in Ulster and now lives at Newcastle, Co. Down. He was the man who made poetry out of Industrial Belfast ; her shipbuilding and linen industries were immortalised in his City Songs, but later he turned his gifted pen to the lovely Mountains of Mourne, and is often spoken of now as the ' Poet of Mourne '.
