Seamus Heaney – bog poems. Retrieved from http://exagminations.tripod.com/id39.html
Heaney’s early poems can be seen as fundamentally concerned with childhood, and with the horrors as well as the wonders of nature, drawing the reader into a world full of "the smells/of waterweed, fungus and dank moss", to look into places where ‘there is no reflection’ – poetry which is also an exploration that aims ‘to set the darkness echoing’.

David Fawbett enjoyed the challenge of connecting with Seamus Heaney's messages, both manifest and veiled, so much that, as a former Modern Language teacher in Secondary Education, he felt that students of Seamus Heaney might appreciate the set approach towards individual poems that would help them unravel both content and style.
