On 19th March 1967, Delia receives a letter from Fred Willetts, saying she should receive Cunard in the Desert from Bennett Maxwell in the next few days.[1]
Delia Derbyshire's Creative Process says about it:
Cunard in the Desert RADIO. FORMAL TITLE : Cunard in the Desert DATE: 1967 COMPOSER: Delia Derbyshire PRODUCER: Fred Willetts NOTES : Correspondence from Fred Willetts indicates that Derbyshire was asked to treat Bennett Maxwell’s “Cunard in the Desert” radiophonically. No audio or documentation exists for the project, and it is not listed in the RW Catalogue. RELATED ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS : CDD/3/5 Letter, 1967
Cunard in the Desert is a poem included in the 1968 anthology NEW WRITERS VIII: BETWEEN THE BROKEN GLASS THE PEOPLE PLAY; THE DEATH OF MAYAKOVSKY AND OTHER POEMS; CUNARD IN THE DESERT. by Christine Bowler, Lyman Andrews, F. W. Willetts.[2]
so it appears to be by Fred Willett, not Bennett Maxwell.
