A.J Seymour [1914-1989] is best remembered as the long-serving editor of the literary journal, Kyk-over-al. He was also an accomplished poet, essayist and memoirist. This is a pre-recorded reading of edited extracts from A.J’s memoir of his parents and childhood. The readers are Joan Seymour, Guy Seymour and the Rev J.T Seymour (three of A.J’s children). The reading is accompanied by photos that illustrate what Georgetown looked like a century ago. It can be viewed at the YouTube link above.
