John Harold Hewitt
John Harold Hewitt, born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is Belfast's foremost poet ahead of a generation of Northern Irish poets of the 1960s, including Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon and Michael Longley. He was appointed first writer on board at Queen's University Belfast in 1976. His collections include The Day of the Corncrake and Out of My Time: Poems 1969 to 1974. He was also appointed Freeman of the City of Belfast in 1983 and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Ulster and Queen's College Belfast. From November 1930 to 1957, Hewitt held positions at the Belfast Museum & Art Gallery. His radical socialist ideals proved unacceptable during the founding of the Belfast Union and he was promoted in 1953. Instead, in 1957 he moved to Coventry, a city which is still under reconstruction after its destruction during World War II. Hewitt was appointed director of the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, where he worked until his retirement in 1972.
