Yeats: Man and Poet
"IT is not easy to love great poets," says the New Zealand poet Alistair Campbell. "They tend to inspire with awe while keeping us at a distance. For bi teason, their letters are especially ié tous, for ‘by increasing our oo ‘of the man they enable us to approach the poet and his work with deeper understanding and affection." It’s the man and the poet W. B. Yeats whom Mr. Campbell sees through his recently- | published ‘letters in These Characters Remain, a programme about Yeats to be heard from 1YC at 7.59 p.m. on Monday, April 18, and later from other YC stations. In the same programme listeners will hear William Austin read a slightly abridged version of Staying at Ballisodare, a poem by the New Zealander Pat Wilson about his visit to the home of Yeats in Ireland.
