This wondrous late reading reminds us of the utter genius and humanity of the man. He spoke for a wholeness in existence earned through listening to language and to the nature around him. He composed Ireland as a capacious habitation. He confronetd the demaons of past and present violence and the unacceptable costs of any unity purchased by denial or exclusion. He did this by sounding out the language of the self- Gaelic, Norse, Anglo Saxon and English. He dug into the peat of the self and the layers of the land - his voice was a vowel cut through of strata and a symphony of consonants lilting all into form. How we miss him. How we need him. These poems of time passing and mortality acknowledged break the heart and rebuild it. It is a great and reverent privilege just to listen to this.

The great poets are created out of culture and language and spirit of place. This is Seamus Heaney for me.

...we are hunters and gatherers of values. I’ve been thinking about that line every day since I first listened to this video. Such an insightful man.

Heard him read in Berkeley years ago. My paternal gm was from Belfast; maternal gm from Galway; fraternal gf from Cork. His poetry reminds me of how they all said, "The good die young." My mom's sister died young but us kids never heard it from her. My mom's mother lived until age 93 so you can draw your own conclusions on that family's longevity.

My goodness this poet is a breath of fresh air through life's tempestuous storms.

I've become addicted to your poetry, your voice is beautiful. You have me recalling the way my mother would read poetry to me when I was a small girl at her knee. Her knitting and dropping stitches, me looking all over the carpet to see if I could spot them ;) I must have been 3 or 4 years old but the memory of her readings has stayed with me all my life through. My favourite then was The Lady of Shallot :)
