Heaney's Islands: Landscape, Memory and Imagination will feature a talk at the Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again exhibition in Dublin. Lesley Bond will explore Heaney's relationship with islands in his poetry, with free attendance.
'We are bombarded by the empty air.' Join us on Saturday 21st November at 2pm as we welcome back Lesley Bond to the Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again exhibition for a talk exploring Seamus Heaney's relationship with islands as places of both landscape and imagination. Structured around three themes, we will consider Heaney's engagement with Ireland's offshore islands, the 'islands' of the landscape found in his bog poems, and the islands of the mind that emerge in his later, more reflective work. Moving between poetry, place, and cultural memory, Lesley Bond offers a way of tracing how islands function throughout Heaney's writing as spaces of attention, transformation, and creative renewal.
