Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again

Join us for a special tour celebrating the remarkable women who shaped Seamus Heaney’s poetry.

<p>From the familial warmth of his mother and aunt, to the unwavering love of his wife and revitalising joy brought by his daughter and granddaughters, we will trace their presence through some of his most cherished poems. As we move through the exhibition, we will read aloud, share stories, and attend to the quiet ways these women appear in his work—not only as figures of affection and care, but as sources of strength, memory, and inspiration. Together, we will encounter a more intimate portrait of the poet and begin the new year with a thoughtful tribute to the women who helped shape one of Ireland’s greatest voices.</p>
