Details
W.R. "Bertie" Rodgers occupies an important place in a generation of Ulster writers which included John Hewitt, Louis MacNeice, Roy McFadden, Sam Hanna Bell and Michael MacLaverty. Although Rodgers was first and probably best known as a poet, he was also a literary figure in the widest sense, being a prose essayist, a book reviewer, a radio broadcaster and scriptwriter, a lecturer and, latterly, a teacher.
