In celebration of International Bog Day, join us on Zoom for a special book club on 'The Bog People: Iron Age Man Preserved' by P.V. Glob.
In Dennis Driscoll's Stepping Stones, Heaney said 'opening P. V. Glob’s book The Bog People was like opening a gate.' To celebrate International Bog this month the book club will focus on this great source of inspiration to Heaney and the poetry it inspired.
This book club is for everyone, you don't need to be a poetry expert.
If our team can be of any assistance, please contact us at heaneyexhibition@nli.ie
