An amazing poet. Thank you for sharing. But it puzzles me: The painting of him as a "disturbed" person. The first time I read "A cog in the machine" I knew what "disturbed" really was/ ment. Ireland: hold him.
Bravo - so glad you made the pilgrimage to Carrowdore, much better than Drumcliffe, Inniskeen or Bellaghy; his early demise as unnecessary as Bob Marley's or Tennessee Williams's. AC is right on it being short, but perhaps you could show it to BBC4 to whet their appetite? He may not get a Wogan House 'elevation', but he is one of their own and his is a powerful story well crafted by you lads and deserving the full bells and whistles treatment. I hope it happens and soon.
My ancestors came from cootehill ireland and my last name is spelled different today but im pretty sure from what i could find it used to be spelled mac neice wonder if louis is related to me some how???
Beautiful film, I only just discovered MacNeice, this was a lovely education on him, thank you. What is the music at the end?

Lines beautifully read at the end.
