It has been wonderful to see this image of Seamus Heaney in his study circulating ahead of the launch of his new collection.

The books seen here are some of the many which will be housed in our new Seamus Heaney Poetry Library at No. 11 Parnell Square.

We can’t wait to share them with you all.📖

“There are poems that tell stories but there are also poems that just give you a moment of vision or transcendence or colour even, or just an image that you can carry around with you. Two lines. Two lines can save a life, I believe it.”

It's really the cats who take me on walks. They followed me once when they were kittens, and since then they require me to walk with them every day. Lucky we live on a farm and the farmer doesn't mind us walking in his fields (cats don't disturb livestock 😄 )
