25. Seamus Heaney - Biography
    seamus heaney – Biography. seamus heaney was born in April 1939, the eldestmember of a family which would eventually contain nine children.  
    http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1995/heaney-bio.html
    
    Extractions: Heaney grew up as a country boy and attended the local primary school. As a very young child, he watched American soldiers on manoeuvres in the local fields, in preparation for the Normandy invasion of 1944. They were stationed at an aerodrome which had been built a mile or so from his home and once again Heaney has taken this image of himself as a consciousness poised between "history and ignorance" as representative of the nature of his poetic life and development. Even though his family left the farm where he was reared (it was called Mossbawn) in 1953, and even though his life since then has been a series of moves farther and farther away from his birthplace, the departures have been more geographical than psychological: rural County Derry is the "country of the mind" where much of Heaney's poetry is still grounded. When he was twelve years of age, Seamus Heaney won a scholarship to St. Columb's College, a Catholic boarding school situated in the city of Derry, forty miles away from the home farm, and this first departure from Mossbawn was the decisive one. It would be followed in years to come by a transfer to Belfast where he lived between 1957 and 1972, and by another move from Belfast to the Irish Republic where Heaney has made his home, and then, since 1982, by regular, annual periods of teaching in America. All of these subsequent shifts and developments were dependent, however, upon that original journey from Mossbawn which the poet has described as a removal from "the earth of farm labour to the heaven of education." It is not surprising, then, that this move has turned out to be a recurrent theme in his work, from "Digging", the first poem in his first book, through the much more orchestrated treatment of it in "Alphabets"(

The best of Nobel laureate Heaney's poems, gathered from 12 previous collections, create a substantial volume that charts the course of one man's thoroughly examined personal life and reflects a volatile era in the life of his troubled country, Northern Ireland, though the particulars Heaney renders so vibrantly become archetypal and unbounded in their tragedy and bliss. Heaney's art is rooted deeply in the earth and set to the rhythm of physical labor, an age-old effort as noble as it is wearing. This elemental engagement with life is the source of Heaney's timelessness, a quality not in any way diminished by the modernity of his persona and his observations of our technological advances and spiritual floundering. And his lyricism is glorious: his melodic lines are made of stone and water, iron and cloth, bread and prayer, flesh and dream. Heaney provides a glimpse into his writerly self in his Nobel lecture, which is included in Opened Ground , but renowned Harvard critic Vendler, whose last book was a study of Shakespeare's sonnets, is far freer than the poet himself to illuminate the subtext of his poems. Combining biography with history and highly developed senses of aesthetics and poetics, Vendler guides her readers through Heaney's work like a naturalist identifying plants in a thick forest. She tracks the evolution of Heaney's imagery, his musicality, the beat and velocity of his poems, his many-tendriled metaphors and symbols, his flair for storytelling, and his moods, obsessions, and revelations. Astute, specific, and expressive, Vendler is an ideal reading companion.

33. Beowulf: A New Translation (Seamus Heaney)
    Beowulf A New Translation. seamus heaney. Faber Faber 1999 A bookreview by Danny Yee http//dannyreviews.com/ - Copyright © 2001.  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Beowulf.html
    
    Extractions: A New Translation A book review by Danny Yee For those unfamiliar with Beowulf , it is a late first millennium Anglo-Saxon epic about the hero Beowulf's fights with three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and, fifty years later at the end of his life, a dragon. Since its rediscovery in the early nineteenth century, it has become a recognised classic, translated scores if not hundreds of times. Not being able to read Old English, all I can say here is that Heaney's translation gave me a better understanding of why people rave about the poem than any of the others I have read. Perhaps the most notable aspect of Heaney's Beowulf is that it can be read almost as if it were prose - and then mined more deeply for the poetry. Heaney writes in his introduction: "I came to the task of translating Beowulf with a prejudice in favour of forthright delivery. I remembered the voice of the poem as being attractively direct, even though the diction was ornate and the narrative method at times oblique." So he captures something of the Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse form, but not at the expense of "the sound of sense"; he doesn't inflict awkward archaisms on the reader and is never difficult to read. Here is a brief sample, from the wait after Beowulf dives to attack Grendel's mother.

Known proudly to all Ireland as "famous Seamus", in his 30-year career Heaney has moved from nature poetry to a brave and never easily redemptive engagement with the Irish conflict, finding through his bog people poems (see North) a way into the violence of history; he is a particularly illuminating reader of his own work. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995 "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past".

35. S. Heaney, Die Wasserwaage
    Gedichte. Englisch Deutsch. seamus Heaneys Gedichtband Die Wasserwaage wurde von der englischen Literaturkritik zum Buch des Jahres erkl¤rt  
    http://www.hanser.de/buch/1998/3-446-19297-2.htm
    
    Extractions: Seamus Heaneys Gedichtband Die Wasserwaage wurde von der englischen Literaturkritik zum Buch des Jahres erklärt: Heaneys Fähigkeit, die englische Sprache, reimlos und gereimt, für seine ländlichen Idyllen zum Tanzen zu bringen, weist ihn als einen der größten Artisten aus. Das gilt auch für die Elegien und Nachrufe auf seine bäuerliche Heimat: immer muß das Bläschen in der Wasserwaage die Mitte halten, damit die Ordnung der Welt nicht auf die schiefe Bahn gerät. Seamus Heaney wurde 1939 in Nordirland geboren. Bereits während seines Studiums der Englischen Philologie in Belfast publizierte er Gedichte. Nach seiner Lehrerausbildung schloß er sich The Group an, einer Gruppe junger Autoren, und veröffentlichte 1966 seinen ersten Gedichtband Death of Naturalist. Von 1966 bis 1972 war er Lektor für englische Literatur an der Queen's University in Belfast und 1970 bis 1971 Gastdozent an der University of California in Berkeley, USA. Seit 1982 ist Seamus Heaney Gastprofessor in Harvard. Er lebt heute in Dublin und erhielt 1995 den Nobelpreis für Literatur.
