Nachtrag:

 



From SPIKED, 2 Sept. 2013:

David Bowden:
In praise of Famous Seamus, master of language
Few contemporary poets 'did English' with such clarity and simplicity as Heaney.  

Bernie Whelan;
Heaney was bad at politics, but great at poetry
Heaney's politics may invite questioning, but his command of language will continue to inspire.
