Description

Charle Witherspoon talks to poet Seamus Heaney about his first collection, ‘Death Of A Naturalist’. By the banks of a beautiful river, Heaney tells Charles about his own background which influenced this collection. This is a wonderful conversation with the young Heaney who was about to become the most important modern Irish poet. We are also so lucky to have Heaney reading, ‘Waterfall’ from the collection. 

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
