Journey to Seamus Heaney HomePlace - read by Liam Neeson

A home for inspiration, echoing the life, literature and legacy of Seamus Heaney.
Seamus Heaney HomePlace is a purpose-built arts and literary centre, which celebrates the life and work of the late poet and Nobel Laureate, Seamus Heaney, and contributes to his legacy.
Opened in September 2016, HomePlace houses an interactive exhibition, arranged over two floors and filled with personal stories and artefacts, dozens of family photographs, video recordings from friends, neighbours, world leaders, cultural figures, and the voice of the poet himself. HomePlace also includes a recreation of the poet’s Dublin study.

I literally had that with my late father. I was frustrated he couldn’t keep up as I turned around it hit me like a rock. It hit me and then I had to come across this clip and then I started to bawl because I can’t tell how thanks and I love him one more time!

Ten year gone today, Seamus Heaney RIP

I watch this every morning at work to centre my mind, Fergus

[@klatudalikto9270]

Music is a distraction to the words and subtle meanings. I love Liam Neeson and have taught Heaney for years. I'd love to hear this without music so the words can sit architecture bare against the sky of meaning.

[@heikecarstens8532]

I really enjoy listening to Liam read poetry. I hope and wish that one day Liam Neeson will record an audio book in which he recites his favorite poems. 2:30

Beautiful introduction if you do not know Mr Heaney... Thank you Mr Leeson

[@user-lf5uw9nx7h]

I'm late to Seamus heaneys poetry but in my teens I borrowed a penguin book of Irish poetry, Brian merryman I seem to remember. The flow of imagery from language used beautifully and honestly. Ireland is s gift to the world. ❤

Another beautiful berries poem is 'Strawberries ' by Edwin Morgan

[@learnwbyeatspoems8893]

Fabulous voice, imagery and of course poetry. I'm trying to create a poetry channel using no music... mmm maybe the music is necessary to set the scene.

[@charlenerocks5598]

Seamus Heaney is my great grandad ppl think he isnt but he is ppl will probably reply he is not related to u and I went threw a lot when I was younger so I did so yea

[@svecx7460]

[@carolynlbs]

Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of my Great Grandad's and must be why I love poetry and nature. I believe you.

[@finbarrcorcoran9342]

Pity the music drowns out the words.
