John Hewitt International Summer School presents
This illustrated talk traces the influence of the poet John Hewitt on Seamus Heaney’s work, while considering Heaney's attempt to evade or transform that influence. What emerges is a complex, sometimes fraught encounter between two great poets, and friends. The illustrations shown will draw on the Heaney archives in the National Library Dublin, Ireland, and The Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
