Reading Seamus Heaney
When Irish poet and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney died this past August, there was an outpouring of sorrow at his passing and a celebration of his work. No journalist or critic worried about finding memorable lines or poems. There are just too many of them. In this class, we’ll immerse ourselves in his work, following threads that bind it together — his upbringing on a farm, his moral grappling with the Irish political conflict, and the music and mastery of his poetry.
Required text: Opened Ground by Seamus Heaney.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
