This poem came out of a Super Bowl dream! #Eagles #Philadelphia #SuperBowlLIX #PhiladelphiaEagles #poetry

I happened to discover this wonderful, though too brief, Ulster Christmas program from 1970. #SeamusHeaney was the host. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01…

• Seamus Heaney •

@CaitlinPacific Thanks for your reply. Well, your essay was just wonderful. My wife and I just visited Ireland for the first time, and we were able to catch a glimpse of his Glanmore Cottage. It made the trip! Marie was very busy, so we didn’t get a chance to meet up with her. Next time!

@LivewellDave I don’t think I did…

Seamus Heaney, My Father, and Me - The Atlantic I think most of us had someone in our young life - a family friend, a teacher, a coach - who gave us a sense of ourselves, who made us feel that we were just right, as is. Did you? Who was it? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@amjuster Congrats!

I was the runner-up for English #poems for the #JuliaBudenz Award of the Scottish #Poetry Library. The hybrid award ceremony is scheduled for July 2. scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/postscrip…

@thedarkhorsemag Congratulations, Gerry!

🙏🙏, G. 🙂I enjoyed this whole thing far more than anticipated, & was very gratified by Lachlan Mackinnon's statement. A very pleasing aspect was that my first mentor, George Mackay Brown, got 1 of these in 1993, when he would have been 72. So here's to the auld Orkney bard. 🙏

@malcolmguite That is wonderful news, Malcolm. Congratulations!

It’s official! I’m delighted to share the news that the Rabbit Room Press will be bringing out my forthcoming Arthuriad! rabbitroom.com/post/announcin…
