Hewitt Summer School 2008: Billy Collins

1) Although the file code for this reading suggests only Collins' involvement, Seamus Heaney also read at the event. The recording ends, unfortunately, just as Heaney arrives at the podium. 2) This recording also includes Cahal Dallet's introduction of Seamus Heaney. 3) Due to the demand for tickets, Collins and Heaney agreed to a second reading on Tuesday night. Both poets were successfully recorded at this reading. 4) Poet Cahal Dallet is a member of the John Hewitt Society Committee and noted arts commentator. He is married to Anne-Marie Fyfe, who provides the introduction for Collins. Fyfe is also a poet, a member of the Hewitt John Hewitt Society committee and former Chair of the Poetry Society (UK): http://www.poetrysociety.org.uk/ociety: 5) The John Hewitt Society: http://www.johnhewittsociety.org/index.php 6) Note that this event was held in the main auditorium of the Market Place Theatre: http://www.marketplacearmagh.com 7) Billy Collins: http://www.billy-collins.com/
