Seamus Heaney, our dad the poet, by Catherine, Chris and Mick Heaney
Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again, the inaugural exhibition for the new Cultural and Heritage Centre in the Bank of Ireland’s former parliament building in Dublin, will open on July 4, 2018. The exhibit showcases key pieces of the poet’s archives, which he personally donated to the National Library of Ireland in 2011, two years before his death. RAA designed the exhibition, which, like the new coinciding Faber & Faber collection, 100 Poems, interprets the entire arc of Heaney’s writing life. The Irish Times interviews Heaney’s children about their part in carefully considering their father’s work for these two projects.
