To-night, a first movement, a pulse,
As if the rain in bogland gathered head
To slip and floo .........

Hi, I work for the BBC in Belfast and am working on a documentary to mark Seamus Heaney's 70th birthday. His work is studied (and written about in exams) by people all over the world and I am trying to find out what impact it has them. This poem is written about his relationship with his wife - yet it clearly has a resonance for a lot of people. I would love to hear anyone's comments on what Heaney's poetry means to them. Tell me about individual poems that have made an impact on you and why!
Cheers,
