• Field Work by Seamus Heaney

  

  I think my expression captures the author’s expression in general. My thoughts on Field Work by Seamus Heaney (1979), his 5th book and my 1st full read of his writing: His poetry technique and style of writing is so appealing. This was kind of a hard book to read because it is so innovative in…

• A Three Part, Famous Poem by Seamus Heaney, and On Interpretation

I chose Northanger Abbey, a novel to reread from many years ago, and I don’t remember the story, but it is delightful, and I’ll read more of it today. Jane Austen…
