In this guest episode, Gerald Dawe looks back over his writing and publishing career of 40 years to reflect on the violence of our recent past. In the voice of a clock; reflected in a WW2 film; in dreams of Winston Churchill, violence is never far from the homestead. Nor is the Europe of the present far from the Europe of the past where immigrant families aim for America and hit on Belfast. We’re grateful to Gerry for this generous reflection across his poems; across our history.
