ShNews stories:

The New York Times ("Seamus Heaney, Irish Poet of Soil and Strife, Dies at 74")and Financial Times ("Seamus Heaney and the death of poets")

Because I was in full moving-mode and off-line for three
weeks, it was Monsieur Bang Bang who told me Seamus Heaney died. He also told
me Heaney reminded him of my grandfather because of his Celtic-looking head and
down-turned mouth. I asked my mom to send me a picture of my grandfather to
post here and she said she didn’t think her father looked like Seamus Heaney at all.

Fe Community College.
But in honor of Heaney’s death, I’ve decided to pursue the list on my own,
continuing with Heaney at these sites:
