"My poetry journey into the wilderness of language was a journey where each point of arrival turned out to be a stepping stone rather than a destination." - Seamus Heaney

Born today on 13 April 1939, Seamus Heaney won the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature - "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past".
Seamus Heaney was an acclaimed Irish poet and lecturer, also considered to be a remarkable playwright and translator. During his graduation on English Language and Literature in Belfast he came across Ted Hughes’s ‘Lupercal’ which inspired him to write poems.
Some of his best regarded collections of poetry include his first "Death of a Naturalist" (1966) and "The Spirit Level" (1996), which won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award.
As a translator, Heaney’s most famous work is the translation of the epic Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf (2000). Considered groundbreaking because of the freedom he took in using modern language, the book is largely credited with revitalizing what had become something of a tired chestnut in the literary world.
