Where the Elements Meet: The Poetic Ground of Seamus Heaney - The Water’s Story

For the first event in the series, step into Seamus Heaney’s world, where wells echo with childhood fascination, rivers carry the weight of the dead and sea winds crack open the heart.

This talk follows the waterways that run through Heaney’s poetry with streams of memory, tides of grief, and pools of quiet tenderness. We will discover how Heaney transforms water into a living presence, a keeper of stories, a guide through loss, and a force that unsettles as well as renews.

Join us for a journey downstream through the poems, where every ripple holds a memory and every wave reveals something human.
