Seamus Heaney: 13 Poems from "Seeing Things"

19 minutes

An episode from 7/19/21: Tonight, I read 13 poems from Seamus Heaney's 1991 collection, and arguably his best single book of poetry, Seeing Things. Nearly all of the poems I've chosen from this collection are from his incredible autobiographical sequence, "Squarings":

11 poems from the sequence called "Squarings": #2, #8, #15, #25, #27, #31, #32, #40, #42, #45, #46
