Abstract
Epistolary poems and prose letters written between Michael Longley and Derek Mahon in the early 1970s deliberate upon the idea of a coherent poetic group in Northern Ireland; they reveal a concurrent need for these poets to find their own distinctive poetic voice; and their meditations on group versus individual, as well as on the role of the artist in the community, stem from their poetic maturation and the immediate pressure of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
