Heaney, the first Irish poet to win the prize since William Butler Yeats in 1923, was praised by the Swedish Academy for his subtle and profound approach to the violence in his native Northern Ireland and "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past." His Nobel Prize is worth $1 million. Jonathan Galassi, Heaney's American editor at Farrar, Straus and Giroux, said: "What impresses me most about Seamus is his profound naturalness. In a tone that's all reasonableness and modesty, he can do almost anything." Galassi described Heaney as both craftsman and philosopher. "He can use form so beautifully you don't even notice it. There's a subtlety of mind in his poetry." When asked about Heaney's politics, Galassi said that for a Catholic born in Northern Ireland, "there's nothing of the rabid partisan in his poetry. He humanizes his situation. He shows the ironies."

Release: Immediate Contact: Steven Beeber Mar. 21, 2000 MAIN PAGE MONTH-IN-REVIEW Nobel Prize-WInning Poet Seamus Heaney at UMass April 5 AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts English department is sponsoring a reading by Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney, April 5 at 5 p.m. in the Campus Center Auditorium. The reading is part of the annual Troy Lecture series and is free and open to the public. Previous speakers in the series have included Nobel laureates Nadine Gordimer and Wole Soyinka. A foreign member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a professor of poetry at Oxford University from 1989-1994, Heaney recently retired from the Boylston Chair at Harvard University, though he still continues to teach there on a part-time basis. In addition to the 1995 Nobel Prize for Literature, Heaney is the recipient of numerous other literary awards. His most recent volume of poetry, "The Spirit Level," won Britain's prestigious Whitbread Book of the Year in 1995. This year, his translation of the Anglo-Saxon poem "Beowulf" also won the Whitbread. Heaney was born in 1939 in the village of Mossbawn, County Derry in Northern Ireland. He received his secondary education at St. Columb's College in Derry City, then went on to Queens University, Belfast, where he later became a lecturer in English literature. At Queens, Heaney helped foster a younger generation of Northern Irish poets, among them Medbh McGuckian and Paul Muldoon, the latter of whom was a UMass professor during the early 1990s.

Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney visits Charles University By Ian Willoughby Listen It's not often that students at Prague's Charles University get to meet Nobel prize-winning writers, so it was a major event last week when the Irish poet Seamus Heaney - often described as the greatest living poet in the English language - held a seminar at the university, and later gave a public reading. Ian Willoughby spoke to Mr Heaney after the reading, and began by asking him were there any Czech writers in particular he admired. "Well, I'm not going to claim great originality say when I think Kafka is a wonderful writer (laughs). I knew personally (Czech poet Miroslav) Holub. I did get a lot from his kind of poetry, and from the man himself. I think I met him - I had lunch with him - I think 1979. Then I probably met him about four or five other times at conferences, because he was someone who travelled quite a bit. I wrote about him then, in the 1980s."

A N OBEL P PRIZE FOR S EAMUS H EANEY It is a particular pleasure for Colgate to join in the celebration of the 1995 Nobel Prize for literature which was awarded to Irish poet Seamus Heaney H'94 in October. A longtime friend of the university, Mr. Heaney first read his poems and lectured to Colgate students for a 1969 London study group directed by English Professor Bruce Berlind. He also lectured for Bruce's London classes in the '70s and for the late Professor Terrence Des Pres' London study group in the early '80s. In 1988 Seamus helped me set up my London study group's Yeats tour of Ireland, and he generously met with my students at James Joyce's Martello Tower in London for a morning lecture on Yeats. He did the same for my 1993 group and this past fall he met with Professor Michael Coyle's study group in that same Norman tower. Poet Seamus Heaney addresses the graduates and their guests at Commencement '94. Mr. Heaney has read periodically at Colgate over the past two decades, and in 1994, when he was our commencement speaker, Colgate awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. Addressing the Class of '94 on "Faith, Hope and Poetry," Mr. Heaney said: "Faith, hope and poetry are all manifestations of creative mind, that uniquely human gift . . . held in special trust by those privileged to receive a liberal education at a university like Colgate." I recall standing with my wife Helen and with Seamus and his wife Marie sometime after 11 p.m. on a Broad Street curb the Saturday night before commencement, as the graduating class walked in slow procession down the hill and around Taylor Lake, their torches lit and the lake seemingly on fire. At some point I turned to Seamus and remarked that he had certainly put in a full day and I knew he had a full one tomorrow, so I'd be happy to take him and Marie to the Inn whenever they liked. Seamus just shrugged and said, "No, no, I want to stay till the last student walks by so I can feel part of the Class of '94."

Born in 1939 on a farm 30 miles Northwest of Belfast, Seamus Heaney first began to publish poetry in the literary magazines of St Joseph's College, where he became a lecturer in 1963, under the pseudonym "Incertus." " To begin with," he said in his Nobel Lecture of 1995, "I wanted that truth to life to possess a concrete reliability, and rejoiced most when the poem seemed most direct, an upfront representation of the world it stood in for or stood up for or stood its ground against. After his marriage to Marie Devlin in 1965 he moved from Northern Ireland to the Irish Republic, but remained engaged in the troubles of Northern Ireland, as he says a little later in the same Nobel Lecture, "bowed to the desk like some monk bowed over his prie-dieu, some dutiful contemplative pivoting his understanding in an attempt to bear his portion of the weight of the world, knowing himself incapable of heroic virtue or redemptive effect, but constrained by his obedience to his rule to repeat the effort and the posture."

Archives Big Dig Book Reviews Boston Capital ... Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday IRISH POET, HARVARD TEACHER SEAMUS HEANEY WINS NOBEL Author: By Patti Hartigan, Globe Staff Date: Friday, October 6, 1995 Page: Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN Irish poet and Harvard professor Seamus Heaney, who followed the advice of countryman William Butler Yeats to "learn your trade," won the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature yesterday. In awarding the $1 million prize, the Swedish Academy of Letters cited Heaney for "works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past." Heaney, who was touring in Greece yesterday with Harvard colleague Dimitri Hadzi and could not be reached, will receive the award at a ceremony in Stockholm in December. Born into a Roman Catholic farming family in Northern Ireland, the 56-year- old poet divides his time between homes in Dublin and Cambridge, where he teaches during the spring semester. Sporting a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step, Heaney is an easily recognizable figure in Cambridge, known equally for the grace of his prose and the warmth of his spirit. He is the fourth Irish writer to win the prize, following Yeats (1923), George Bernard Shaw (1925) and Samuel Beckett (1969). But unlike the latter two expatriates, Heaney does not embrace alienation and exile: His work is deeply rooted in the soil of his native land, in its mythology, its legends and its terrible beauty. In 14 volumes of poetry and prose, he has celebrated peat bogs and potato diggers, Ulster kings and ordinary farmers, using his ''squat pen" to dig up memories of his ancestral sod.

Seamus Heaney Seamus Heaney was born on April 13, 1939 in County Derry. For college, he enroled at Queen's College in Belfast. After completing college, he took up lecturing at several schools. One of the schools he lectured at was St. Joseph's in Belfast. While there, he joined a poetry group headed by Philip Hobsbaum, and the work of this group inspired him to begin publishing his own works. Of all contemporary Irish poets, Heaney may be one of the most lauded, as he has received awards ranging from the Denis Devlin Award to the Nobel Prize in Literature, which he won "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past."

Links Honorary Fellows Emyr Estyn Evans Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney Professor R H Buchanan Emeritus Professor John Cronin ... M McGuckian Dr W H Crawford Emyr Estyn Evans EVANS, Emyr Estyn (1905-1989), Ireland's first Professor of geography, was the youngest of four sons and one daughter, children of the Rev George Owen Evans and his wife, Elizabeth Jones. His father was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Wales, and his early life was spent in the parish of Coedway, on the border of Wales near Shrewsbury where he was born on May 29th 1905. In his first decade at Queen's, Evans developed his interests in prehistoric geography through survey and other excavation; with his colleague Oliver Davies he revived the Ulster Journal of Archaeology, and undertook the first systematic field survey of historic monuments, an enormous task which was published in 1940. His experience was put to use for many years as a member of the government advisory committees on historic monuments in both Northern Ireland and the Republic, and as a Trustee of the Ulster Museum. Through fieldwork Evans developed an intimate knowledge of the Irish countryside and the way of life of its people. His books, Irish Heritage (1942) and Irish Folk Ways (1957) were pioneer studies, based on first-hand knowledge and experience, and opened a whole new field for scholarly research. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, founded in 1958 was a tangible result of his work and he served as a trustee for many years. The journal Ulster Folklife, first published in 1955, was another initiative, catering for the growing professional and lay interest in the subject.

Text of poems by 1995 Nobel Literature Prize winner Seamus Heaney October 5, 1995 Web posted at: 2:10 p.m. EDT (1810 GMT) STOCKHOLM, Sweden The following poems are by Irish poet Seamus Heaney. The Swedish Academy cited these when awarding Heaney the 1995 Nobel Prize for literature. "Lightenings viii," from his 1991 collection, "Seeing Things" The annals say: when the monks of Clonmacnoise Were all at prayers inside the oratory A ship appeared above them in the air. The anchor dragged along behind so deep It hooked itself into the altar rails And then, as the big hull rocked to a standstill, A crewman shinned and grappled down a rope And struggled to release it. But in vain. `This man can't bear our life here and will drown,' The abbot said, `Unless we help him.' So They did, the freed ship sailed and the man climbed back Out of the marvelous as he had known it. "The Wishing Tree," from his 1987 collection, "The Haw Lantern" I thought of her as the wishing tree that died And saw it lifted, root and branch, to heaven
