Opinion of Seamus Heaney?

fucking /thread

Amazing writer. One of our favorite poets. Wintering Out is our favorite work of his.

Only thing I read by him was Beowulf
thought it was unrealistic

watched the movie beowulf based on his story and it was pretty juvenile

I'm a fan of his "bog poems" and really like his style.

Is he actually good? I had to read his translation of Beowulf for A Lit like three years ago. My teach even had us memorize some of the opening lines

Cheers, Seamus, you cunt.

Baronies, parishes met where I was born.
When I stood on the central stepping stone

I was the last earl on horseback in midstream
Still parleying, in earshot of his peers.
