- handloom weavers, small farmers & country school-masters
- for people much like themselves. The poets wrote in the 'lively tongue' of the Ulster-Scots vernacular & drew their themes from the landscape & life of the community at a time when the making of flax into linen played a basic part in the economic & social pattern.

Includes:: poems by well-known local bards such as David Herbison, James Orr & Samuel Thomson. First published in 1974, Hewitt's anthology was an act of recovery, an excavation of a vibrant aspect of Ulster's literary history.
