Seamus Heaney on "Death of a Naturalist"

Published: May 23, 2021, 2:58 a.m.

A reading and commentary from interviews Seamus Heaney gave on the writing of his first book, Death of a Naturalist, taken from Dennis O'Driscoll's Stepping Stones: Interviews with Seamus Heaney.

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.

Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com.

I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.
