Who is Seamus Heaney: a biography When Seamus Heaney won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995, he was widely acclaimed as the best Irish poet since the last Irish poet to win the prize in 1923, William Butler Yeats. However, Heaney is much more than simply an Irish poet; he is arguably one of the best living poets of our generation. Seamus Justin Heaney was born at the family cattle farm named Mossbawn, close to Castledawson, in County Derry, on April 13, 1939. Incidentally, this was the year Yeats died. He was the first-born son to Margaret and Patrick Heaney, who were to have eight more children. bodyOffer(28932) Heaney's education began at the local school called St. Columb's College in Anahorish before moving to Belfast where he graduated from Queens University in 1961 with a first class degree in English. The following year he obtained a teaching certificate at St. Joseph's College, in Belfast, and was quickly employed as an English Lecturer in 1963. It was around this time that he began to write, initially publishing in university magazines under the pen name 'Incertus'. Poetry was his passion, and while at St. Joseph's he joined a poetry workshop, which was led by Philip Hobsbaum. His first anthology of poetry '11 Poems' was published in 1965, and in this year he married Marie Devlin. The following year Heaney took a lectureship at Queens in English Literature and became a father. His first-born son was named Michael. Also in 1966, Faber and Faber published the collection of poetry, which was to put his name on the international map - 'Death of a Naturalist'. So began his ascent to the higher echelons of poetry, and the beginning of a long list of literary awards and prizes.

categories='cat1=literature'; Biography Seamus Heaney Poet Ireland Born 13 Apr 1939 Seamus Justin Heaney was born in 1939 in County Derry in Northern Ireland. He grew up in the country, on a farm, in touch with a traditional rural way of life which he wrote about in his first book 'Death of a Naturalist' (1966). He attended the local school and in 1951 went as a boarder to St Columb's College, about 40 miles away in Derry (the poem 'Singing School' in North refers to this period of his life). In 1956 he went on a scholarship to Queen's University, Belfast and graduated with a first class degree in English Language and Literature in 1961. After a year as a postgraduate at a college of education, and a year teaching in a secondary modern school in Ballymurphy, he was appointed to the staff of St Joseph's College of Education. In 1966 Seamus Heaney took up a lecturing post in the English Department of Queen's University, and remained there until 1972, spending the academic year 1970-71 as a visiting Professor at the University of California in Berkeley. In 1972 Seamus Heaney stopped teaching in order to devote more time to his writing, and moved with his family to Glanmore in County Wicklow, and later to Dublin. For three years he made his living as a freelance writer, presenting a radio programme for RTE and doing occasional work for the BBC and for various journals. During this period he produced the poems collected in 'North' (1975). In September 1975 he resumed his teaching, this time at Carysfort College in Dublin.

Seamus Heaney The Nobel Literature Prize winner for 1995 was born in 1939 and brought up on a farm just outside Derry. He went to school in the city, at the Catholic college of St Columb's, before moving onto Queens University in Belfast. He has often commented in his work on the troubles of Northern Ireland. The poem 'Casualty' is dedicated to a Catholic friend blown up by an IRA bomb attack on a mainly Protestant pub in the immediate aftermath of Bloody Sunday. He was blown to bits Out drinking in a curfew Others obeyed, three nights After they shot dead The thirteen men in Derry PARAS THIRTEEN, the walls said BOGSIDE NIL. That Wednesday Everyone held His breath and trembled Heaney said at the Nobel memorial lecture: 'This temperamental disposition towards an art that was earnest and devoted to things as they are was corroborated by the experience of having been born and brought up in Northern Ireland and of having lived with that place even though I have lived out of it for the past quarter of a century.' But Heaney, although a Catholic who confesses to having 'an Irish self' and now lives in the Republic of Ireland, has not taken any particular position in the conflict. Some critics have accused him of a dilettante attitude towards the conflict, while others have said he was too political.

Our Seamus On the 10th December, at the award ceremony in Stockholm, Seamus Heaney will be distinguished with the honour of the Nobel Prize for Literature. A past pupil of St Columb‘s College, Derry, his work has always had a special place in that school. Conall Patton delves into his past pupil‘s history. The ripples of shared pride which washed around the country on 5th October, the day on which it was announced that Heaney would be Ireland‘s fourth Nobel Laureate, were surely even stronger in intensity in his alma mater, St Columb‘s College, Derry. A vice principal not only sallied hotfoot into the bastion of the sixth form centre to break the news, but was emboldened enough to turn down the raucous music in order to make the announcement. Bookish Crathur Heaney, by his own definition, was always a 'bookish crathur'. Born near Castledawson, in County Derry, as the eldest son of eight children born in a Catholic Nationalist family, he made the usual transition to the Catholic education system. At an early age, he began to discard the history of farming with which his family had been associated for generations, to become Ireland‘s greatest living poet: 'Between my finger and my thumb/ The squat pen rests/ I'll dig with it.' Heaney's connection with St Columb's dates back to 1951 when he came here first as a boarder. He was to spend the next six years of his school life here. Later, when he had left St Columb's, Heaney had a few of his poems printed in university magazines in his early twenties, and in 1966, by the age of 27, had his first collection of poems published by Faber and Faber. Since then his published books, and those written about him in many different languages, fill two shelves in his old school library.

Poet Benaroya Hall, 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 7, 2002 Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links Biography In 1995 Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy praised him "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past." Born in 1939 in County Derry, the eldest of nine children, Heaney was raised on his parents' farm in Northern Ireland. His poetry is deeply marked by both his rural upbringing and his experience of political unrest. "He has often written of the poet as a kind of farmer," notes The New York Times, "as though Ireland's wet peat were a storehouse of images and memories." But violence is always intruding on this bucolic life, as he makes clear in his famous poem "Digging": "Between my finger and my thumb/ The squat pen rests; snug as a gun." Heaney's first poetry collections, Death of a Naturalist (1966) and Door Into the Dark (1969), earned him international acclaim. He has gone on to publish numerous collections of poetry, three works of criticism, and

Campus Buzz June 1, 2000 COMMENCEMENT Seamus Heaney Photo by Candace diCarlo The invitation to be your commencement speaker was a great honor but it made me anxious as well. How, I asked myself, can one person address a crowd of 25,000 and hope to establish any kind of worthwhile contact? The odds against it would seem to be high. As a poet, as a member of a large family, as the native of a small country, I know that shared historical experience and shared personal memories and even indeed a shared accent may be necessary before any really credible exchange can take place. But that experience of living in a closely knit, ethnically homogeneous, hermetically sealed culture is everywhere a thing of the past. The Amish carriage now shares the highway with the Mercedes car; the Australian bushman may still go walkabout, but he goes connected up to his Walkman; the recluse in the beach hut north of Sausalito may look like a beachcomber, but he is probably an Internet millionaire.

75. Seamus Heaney seamus heaney received his nobel Prize for Literature for his morethan 16 volumes of poetry and prose. Described as eloquent yet http://www.angelfire.com/journal/irishpens/sh.htm

Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995, seventy two years after William B. Yeats became the first Irishman to do so. Though that "Rich and Rare Land" produced many fine poets during those years, Heaney is truly a worthy successor to Yeats. Born on April 13, 1939 in Mossbawn, 30 miles north west of Belfast in the county of Derry, Heaney would live through the tumult and tragedy of the "troubles" that had bled Ireland in the period that inspired Yeats a generation before. Seamus Heaney received his Nobel Prize for Literature for his more than 16 volumes of poetry and prose. Described as eloquent yet simple, he is compared with W.B.Yeats and Robert Frost. In announcing his prize, the Swedish Academy praised Heaney for "works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and living past".
