Scope and content
File of correspondence between John Hewitt and Mary O'Malley, dealing mainly with editorial decisions for Threshold and to a lesser degree, his role as a trustee for the Lyric. Includes a letter in which he discusses the market for Irish books in Coventry: 'I hope they sell but the Irish here seem to need a Shamrock (Green) or a Lily (Orange) on everything except their pay packet... none of the ones we have met so far would look at a magazine that wasn't exploding a gun or a bosom in colour & gloss' (20 May 1957). Also includes letter reviewing material for an upcoming issue of the journal, praising John Montague's Rebellion as 'brutal, harsh, malicious, clearly observed. If we c[oul]d get more of this quality it would be wonderful (14 October 1958). Also includes copies of several of Hewitt's own poems, and a memorial booklet published after his death.
