Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney at 92nd Street Y Poetry Center

Mon, Sep 26, 2011, 92nd Street & Lexington Avenue, 8 pm: Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney returns to the Poetry Center for the opening of our 73rd season.  “The mourning bell tolls throughout Human Chain, Seamus Heaney’s new collection of poems, his 12th, but the sound it makes is a sonorous call to life and continuity,” wrote John Banville. “In these marvelous poems, [he] displays all that sweetness and ease of gesture, that colloquial accommodation, that are the unmissable traits of his art.” Check 92nd Street Y website for details and tickets.
