Irish Thought for November 11...

Irish Writers

Seamus Heaney

Born in Bellaghy, Seamus Heaney is a highly influential and beloved poet with a particularly Irish writing voice and universal themes.  In the United Kingdom, two-thirds of the sales of all living poets are of Heaney's works.  In 1995, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and in 2006, he was awarded the T.S. Eliot Prize.  Heaney just recently died this August.
