THE LYRIC FEATURE
From Kingstown to Dun Laoghaire
On this week's Lyric Feature, we remember the poet, lecturer and regular contributor to our programmes Gerald Dawe who died last month.
Gerald Dawe first moved to Dun Laoghaire in 1989 and over the years has written poems that were inspired by the town's history, its streetscapes and its location on the southside of Dublin Bay. In From Kingstown to Dun Laoghaire he meets friends and neighbours to explore their evolving impressions of Dun Laoghaire, charting along the way some of the social changes the town has undergone from its 'Kingstown' past to its multicultural present.
Along the way he meets broadcaster Brendan Balfe, literary agent Jonathan Williams, writer Melatu-Uche Okorie, artist Eimear O' Connor and librarian and historian Marian T. Keyes.
Throughout the programme Gerald reads poems from various poetry collections published by The Gallery Press which have been inspired over the years by living in Dun Laoghaire.
From Kingstown to Dun Laoghaire is a Rockfinch production for RTÉ lyric fm. Sound supervision was by Tinpot Productions.
The programme was funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland from the Television Licence Fee.
Presenter: Gerald Dawe
Producer: Claire Cunningham
Producer for RTÉ lyric fm: Eoin O Kelly
