SEAMUS HEANEY AND THE MUSIC OF WHAT HAPPENS
Special Features: Q&A with Northern Ireland Bureau Director Andrew Elliott and literature expert Christopher Griffin
Born into a farming family in rural Northern Ireland, Seamus Heaney became the finest poet of his generation and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. His career coincided with one of the bloodiest political upheavals of the 20th century, the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Six years after Heaney's death in 2013, his wife Marie and his children talk about their family life and read some of the poems he wrote for them, and for the first time his four brothers remember their childhood and the shared experiences that inspired many of his finest works.
