The best bits - for me- were the bits for which he is renowned: extracts from The Aeneid, and Beowulf. But it was interesting to read the rest, and to get a sense of the Troubles, and of his life, and of his death as it approached.

Just don't feel like it at the moment and it's been idling here for long enough.

I love Seamus Heaney's poetry and I have done since we did one of his poems at school. I love his voice so I read this as I listened to the audio for the full experience, which was great.
This includes a couple of selections from his Beowulf translation, which I like a lot. Beowulf was meant to be read aloud so hearing Heaney read it was a good time.
If you want to get your teeth into some excellent modern poetry then this isn't a bad selection to start off with. He writes so well about landscape and the impact of landscape.
