Michael Longley CBE
1939-2025
As I post these portraits of my dear friend today, I am filled with sadness. And a great sense of pride. Michael was one of the Belfast greats. One of the Irish greats. One of the world’s greats. 1/4

This poem appeared in The Collected Poems of Frank O’Hara, published by Alfred A. Knopf, 1971. Shared here with deep gratitude.
The supple and perfect stanza break between 2nd and 3rd in "Narrative" in Paul Auster. The stunning use of anaphora to remove the ground beneath our feet at the close.
