Creatives in Conversation - Seamus Heaney

In the words of Seamus Heaney:

"If a poem is any good, you can repeat it to yourself as if it were written by somebody else. The completeness frees you from it and it from you."

That weave of mastery and modesty characterised Seamus Heaney's appearances on radio, and especially his Rattlebag Public Interview on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

Now as we approach his 10th anniversary, here’s another chance to hear Seamus in conversation with Myles Dungan, in an interview recorded at the Pavilion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire in April, 2004.

On sound were Martin Moran and Tony Lyons
