Join us for a trip down memory lane as we discover a history of rural life in Heaney's poetry. In-Person at Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again. When Seamus Heaney began writing poetry in the 1960s, Ireland was moving into the modern era, but it was to memories of growing up on a small rural farm in the 1940s that Heaney turned for poetic inspiration. The pictures he paints for us in his poetry gives us a window into a lost world of threshing and thatching, of horse ploughing and butter churning. In celebration of Heritage Week, join us Saturday 23rd August at 11:30am for a trip down memory lane as we discover a history of rural life in the lines of Seamus Heaney’s poetry.
