Seamus Heaney (/ˈʃeɪməs ˈhiːni/; born 13 April 1939) is an Irish poet, playwright, translator, lecturer and recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born at Mossbawn farmhouse between Castledawson and Toomebridge, he now resides in Dublin.
As well as the Nobel Prize in Literature, Heaney has received the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize (1968), the E. M. Forster Award (1975), the Golden Wreath of Poetry (2001), T. S. Eliot Prize (2006) and two Whitbread Prizes (1996 and 1999). He has been a member of Aosdána since its foundation and has been Saoi since 1997. He was both the Harvard and the Oxford Professor of Poetry and was made a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres in 1996. Heaney's personal papers are held by the National Library of Ireland.
Robert Lowell called him "the most important Irish poet since Yeats" and many others, including the academic John Sutherland, have echoed the sentiment that he is "the greatest poet of our age".
<poem> From Mid-Term Break
Wearing a poppy bruise on the left temple, He lay in the four foot box as in a cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.

Click http://drandrewbarker.com for transcript and notes of the lecture above, an analysis of Seamus Heaney's mission statement poem, "Digging". "Digging" is the first poem from Heaney's first book of verse, the one that sets out his intentions for his poetry and tells us what kind of poet he wants to be. "Digging" achieves this, but it is also a celebration of family tradition and how traditions can be used and moulded by the next generation, who may have different work and different tools but still find an ethic to emulate. -

Famous quotes by Seamus Heaney:
"But that citizen's perception was also at one with the truth in recognizing that the very brutality of the means by which the IRA were pursuing change was destructive of the trust upon which new possibilities would have to be based."
"I may have grown more attentive to the news and more alive to the world history and world-sorrow behind it."
"Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained."
"The next move is always the test."
"As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note."
"No place in the world prides itself more on its vigilance and realism, no place considers itself more qualified to censure any flourish of rhetoric or extravagance of aspiration."
"It is difficult at times to repress the thought that history is about as instructive as an abattoir; that Tacitus was right and that peace is merely the desolation left behind after the decisive operations of merciless power."
"But the thing uttered by the speaker I strain towards is still not quite the story of what is going on; it is more reflexive than that, because as a poet I am in fact straining towards a strain, seeking repose in the stability conferred by a musically satisfying order of sounds."
"Don't be surprised if I demur, for, be advised my passport's green. No glass of ours was ever raised to toast The Queen."
"Getting started, keeping going, getting started again - in art and in life, it seems to me this is the essential rhythm not only of achievement but of survival, the ground of convinced action, the basis of self-esteem and the guarantee of credibility in your lives, credibility to yourselves as well as to others."
"At home in Ireland, there's a habit of avoidance, an ironical attitude towards the authority figure."
"There is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you."
"I've always associated the moment of writing with a moment of lift, of joy, of unexpected reward."
"The fact of the matter is that the most unexpected and miraculous thing in my life was the arrival in it of poetry itself - as a vocation and an elevation almost."
"Poetry is always slightly mysterious, and you wonder what is your relationship to it."
"I suppose you could say my father's world was Thomas Hardy and my mother's D.H. Lawrence."
"Then as the years went on and my listening became more deliberate, I would climb up on an arm of our big sofa to get my ear closer to the wireless speaker."
"In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself."
"My point is there's a hidden Scotland in anyone who speaks the Northern Ireland speech. It's a terrific complicating factor, not just in Northern Ireland, but Ireland generally."
"Manifesting that order of poetry where we can at last grow up to that which we stored up as we grew."
Seamus Heaney

Click http://drandrewbarker.com for transcript and notes of the lecture above, an analysis of Seamus Heaney's mission statement poem, "Digging". "Digging" is the first poem from Heaney's first book of verse, the one that sets out his intentions for his poetry and tells us what kind of poet he wants to be. "Digging" achieves this, but it is also a celebration of family tradition and how traditions can be used and moulded by the next generation, who may have different work and different tools but still find an ethic to emulate.

Click http://drandrewbarker.com for transcript and notes of the lecture and analysis above. One of the finest "introduction to poetry" verses there is, "Mid-Term Break" is about a child who returns from boarding school for the funeral of a relative. This lecture concentrates on the suspense involved in the first reading of the poem, when the reader does not know the plot, nor what is going to happen, or who has died. A poem that contains one of the most beautiful lines in literature: "Snowdrops / And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him / For the first time in six weeks. Paler now." Warning: Contains profanity.
