Galway SWP condemn Kevin Higgins poem

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Friday July 11, 2008 00:25author by Andrei Zhdanov Report this post to the editors

Galway Branch of the Socialist Workers Party have strongly condemned a poem by Kevin Higgins.

The poem, ‘Firewood’, was apparently a response to an article in Socialist Worker about the crisis in Darfur.

Read Galway Socialist Workers Party’s letter to the editor of The Galway Advertiser at
http://www.galwayadvertiser.ie/content/index.php?aid=11358

Read the article their letter is in response to at
http://www.galwayadvertiser.ie/content/index.php?aid=11220

for more, including a recent 'Red Banner' magazine review of the book the poem appears in at http://www.salmonpoetry.com/timegentlemen.html

The book is, word has it, causing much weeping and gnashing of teeth on parts of the Galway left.
