• 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

  

  Triptych— three poems within one (my own photo of clover and pine last summer) by Seamus Heaney Field Work (1979). This poem makes use of many metaphors, or maybe more accurately figurative language; it historically refers to a tragic event known as “Bloody Sunday,” Seamus writing this poem just after a more recent event that…

• When the Field Work is Good, The Crop May Double (A Gift)

• A Reader’s Confession and Recommendation of a Poet: Seamus Heaney

  

  Poet b., April 13, 1939, Ireland, portrait of the poet in 1970, by Herald Tribune. At the time years ago, it upset me just a little that I could not experience for myself in the reading what my poetry professor had said about the poet Seamus Heaney: His writing has an original style, a style…

• A Poetry Book Evening, Seamus Heaney, Unwinding…Now Morning
