Born near Castledawsen, County Londonderry, Heaney was educated at Queen's University, Belfast. His Death of a Naturalist was the first collection from a group of Ulster poets with whom he was associated, including James Simmons, Derek Mahon, and Michael Longley. Heaney's early work, in this collection and in Door into the Dark (1969), was marked by a densely descriptive evocation of rural life. The poems of Wintering Out (1972) and North Field Work Station Island The Haw Lantern (1987), and

    seamus heaney was born in April 1939, the eldest member of a family which would eventually contain nine children. His father owned and worked a small farm  
    http://www.geocities.com/nobel123za/Seamus-Heaney.htm
    
    Extractions: Heaney grew up as a country boy and attended the local primary school. As a very young child, he watched American soldiers on manoeuvres in the local fields, in preparation for the Normandy invasion of 1944. They were stationed at an aerodrome which had been built a mile or so from his home and once again Heaney has taken this image of himself as a consciousness poised between "history and ignorance" as representative of the nature of his poetic life and development. Even though his family left the farm where he was reared (it was called Mossbawn) in 1953, and even though his life since then has been a series of moves farther and farther away from his birthplace, the departures have been more geographical than psychological: rural County Derry is the "country of the mind" where much of Heaney's poetry is still grounded.

48. Stephen Burt Reviews "District And Circle" By Seamus Heaney: Tower Poetry
    It’s tempting to say that a poet of seamus heaney’s powers, with his reputation, at this stage of his career, can do anything he wants to do.  
    http://www.towerpoetry.org.uk/poetry-matters/april2006/heaney.html
    
    Extractions: Poetry Matters Reviews Other memories carry more serious burdens. In “Anahorish 1944,” the speaker (quote marks enclose the whole poem) remembers American soldiers stationed in Ireland but bound for Normandy, “Two lines of them, guns on their shoulders, marching." The tableau reverses, with elegant irony, the binary of innocence and experience, or innocence and guilt, which we might expect: “We were killing pigs when the Americans arrived,” while the soldiers were “standing there like youngsters/ As they tossed us gum and tubes of coloured sweets.” If the Heaney of North implied that guilt lay everywhere, the Heaney of District and Circle says that innocence and helplessness are everywhere too. The current "war on terror" informs a smart translation from Horace and a sketch about “a donkey on the TV news last night—/ Loosed from a cart that had loosed five mortar shells/ In the bazaar district, wandering out of sight,” away from the conflict, like Balaam's ass in reverse. When District and Circle They do not do so unaided. Equally Heaneyesque, equally individual, are the unparalleled melodic gifts, the unusually broad vocabulary and singing pentameters which can make musical any subject at all.

    http://harvardmagazine.com/2006/11/seamus-heaney-digging-wi.html
    
    Extractions: One of the most revealing questions you can ask about any poet has to do with his sense of responsibility. To whom or what does he hold himself responsible in his writing? The poet who replies “Nothing”—who believes that the concept of responsibility is foreign to the totally free realm of art—is likely to be a bad poet. If there is nothing—no reader real or imaginary, no idea, value, or principle—with the right to hold the writer to account, then there is no way for her to know when she is writing better or worse, when she is getting closer to her ideal or straying from it. That is why a genuine artist almost always wants to feel answerable to something. Not necessarily a person or a group, because any concrete audience is all too likely to constrict the imagination, to encourage flattery or evasion. But there is liberation in feeling responsible to an ideal reader—the best poets of the past, perhaps, or the unbiased readers of the future; or to an ethical principle—speaking truthfully, bearing witness, offering sympathy; or to an aesthetic ideal—the radiance of beauty, the genius of the language. Not until you know what a poet feels responsible toward can you know how he wants and deserves to be read. See accompanying interview:

Published 4 July 2003.] The author explores the literary tradition and critical reception of pastoral poetry, referring to Virgil's eclogues as well as contemporary examples by Michael Longley, Louis MacNeice, Czeslaw Milosz and Miklos Radnoti. He argues that the form of the eclogue, though a self-consciously literary one, has stayed alive through its ability to meet the challenges of new and sometimes tragic historical circumstances. In addition, the literariness of the pastoral mode allows the poet to shed new or clearer light on truth and reality. location map Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, Dublin 2.

    Extractions: (Stockholm, 1995). Henry Pearson began donating his Seamus Heaney materials to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980. From only a small number of titles given in that year, the collection has grown steadily over the past two and a half decades to contain more than 1,300 cataloged books, pamphlets, broadsides, periodicals, sound recordings, and manuscripts. In addition, there are approximately 125 relatively ephemeral items that are as yet uncataloged. These include photographs, newspaper clippings, program announcements, publishers' catalogs, exhibition catalogs, and printouts from the World Wide Web. Approximately 250 of the books, pamphlets, broadsides, and recordings are by Heaney himself. While many of the materials are first editions, Mr. Pearson has made a determined effort to create a true research collection, documenting as fully as possible the evolution of a text and its publication history. Thus, he has sought to include a wide range of bibliographical variants, including prepublication printed states (page proofs, bluelines, bound proof copies, etc.); all issues of the first edition (limited and trade, hardcover and paperback); Irish, English, and American printings; and significant later editions, printings, or translations. Many of these items have been signed by the author; some bear personal, often quite substantial, inscriptions to Mr. Pearson.

Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Blackberry-picking Seamus Heaney In a lecture given to students at Oxford University, Seamus Heaney compared the writing of poetry to the creation of a labyrinth, one that mirrors the gruesome contortions our own world assumes at times. The difference is, however, that the poet's labyrinth, the poem, has the power to restore us, to reset the balance. Heaney displays those restorative powers wonderfully in this poem. The arrival of joy and the subsequent convulsive preparations to capture every last drop of it ("...with milk cans, pea tins, jam-pots") are honest to the rich sensations of childhood experience. The poem itself is laden with strange rich fruit, sweet clammy experience ready to be tasted and stored. This, finally, is art true to life. Aamir.

It tells the tale of the Scandinavian warrior, Beowulf, who slays two hellish demons and then in old age, brave beyond reason, is fatally wounded in a battle with a fiery dragon.
