In Person
Throughout Heaney's work, the bog has played a vital role in his poetic imagination. From his admiration of his father turf cutting in Digging, to his praise of bogs as Ireland's mythological landscape in Bogland, to the troubling portents of violence in The Tollund Man, the landscape has served as a metaphor for the changing times Heaney found himself in.
Join us for a special tour of exhibition digging into the representations of the bog in Heaney’s poetry, from the personal to the political, featuring readings from his collections.
