Seamus Heaneys Greatest Poem On January, 30, 1972, following Bloody Sunday and the killing of thirteen civilians by British bullets, Heaney resigns his position at Queens University and moves his family to Glanmore, in County Wicklow. Harvard Review The View from Lamont, Homage to Seamus Heaney 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature No. 10, Spring, p. 7. As when the bard fled to the interior when the Vikings or British struck hard and slaughtered the best poets because, in them, rested Irelands future... ...so Seamus Heaney had to flee South to the interior to Wicklow to safety, and a thousand future poems, because in him rested Irelands future.
