Anyone else here a fan of Seamus Heaney?

[redqueen]

I've only just been introduced to his stuff.

I am in love!

1. I am glad that you have found love . . . . elusive as it may be

Or is it we who are elusive?

I like some of Heaney's work, but not a big fan.

Not even a little fan . . . . . just let the wind blow.

Have you read his collection of essays A Redress of Poetry?

Have a copy and have read some. Interesting take on Dylan Thomas, no?

Of course, you have been just introduced.

Amazing how this forum moves soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast, yes?

better than poetry
is my poetry
which refers
to everything
that is beautiful and
dignified, but is
neither of these itself ---- Leonard Cohen from "Better" in The Book of Longing

Love on!

I gave my son's teacher one of his anthologies. I love his poetry, plus he also did a newer translation of Beowulf that has folks agog.
