Summary
Seamus Heaney is one of Ireland's most prolific poets. He has published thirteen major volumes of poetry to date, and shares the honor of being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature with fellow Irish writers William Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett, and George Bernard Shaw. In his poetry, Heaney captures both the beauty of the Irish landscape and its brutal history; he finds his own identity as a poet in connecting himself with the land and desires to create a sense of national identity for Ireland in the same way. Heaney's poetry often reflects his nationalist ideals in addressing the violence and politics in Northern Ireland as he writes to unearth the violent nature that is deeply rooted in Irish history. His poetry stands as a testament to the historical struggles of such a tiny and volatile nation.
