IN this literary edition of Echo Memories, a gentle reminder that today at 2pm in Crown Street Library, Darlington, a new collection of poems by the town's greatest - and most forgotten - poet will be launched.
As we told last week, Ralph Hodgson was born in Garden Street and died in the US, his work having been admired by TS Eliot, Siegfried Sassoon, Stephen Spender and e.e. cummings.
Poems from the collection, called The Last Blackbird, will also be read this afternoon. All are welcome.
