John Jordan (1930-1988)
‘When John Jordan died in 1988 he had forty years of literary endeavour and achievement behind him as editor, critic, story-teller, and poet, and as academic, broadcaster, and man of the Theatre. And the very variety of the disciplines makes it hard to achieve a clear view of any one of them: when you focus on any one thing another stands out.’ — MacDara Woods, Poetry Ireland
