Late Heaney Book Launch and Talk with Nicholas Allen, Baldwin Professor in Humanities and director of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, University of Georgia USA

Late Heaney follows Seamus Heaney through the landscapes, friendships and events that shaped his last four collections, all set in conversation with his work at large.
Heaney's later life was a time of transformative change and achievement. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995, after which he became a writer of global standing. This book grounds that experience in the history and geography of the places he wrote about, with an eye to the artists who influenced him and the people he knew.
