Seamus Heaney


(Seamus Justin Heaney)
Ireland (1939 - 2013)

Born on a farm in Northern Ireland, Seamus Heaney received a scholarship and left his family at age 12. A widely-read and accessible poet, Heaney's subject matter often remains with his roots--rural life in Ireland. Heaney won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995 and was formerly named the prestigious Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard.
