Seamus Heaney's 'Postscript'

April 15, 2020 Liam Guilar

Seamus Heaney (1939-2013)

RTE produced a box set of cds of Heaney reading his collected poems. And once you’ve heard him read them, they never sound right in any other voice.

I’m no longer sure if it’s the poem or my memory of his performance which I admire.

The Fabled Third, the sequel to A Man of Heart and the final part of A Presentment of Englishry, is now available direct from the publisher Shearsman Uk and usual online sources. Signed copies of all three books are available from the shop on this site.
