An episode from 6/12/21: Tonight, I read three poems from Seamus Heaney\'s third collection, Wintering Out (1972):

\\n

\\n
• The Tollund Man
\\n
• Limbo
\\n
• First Calf
\\n

\\n

Following the poems is a reading from interviews Heaney gave on the writing of Wintering Out, taken from Dennis O\'Driscoll\'s Stepping Stones: Interviews with Seamus Heaney.

\\n

The first five of Heaney\'s collections can be purchased here, and a good selection from the first half of his career can be found in Selected Poems 1966-1987.\\n
