Sweeney Astray was first published by @FieldDayCompany and some of it will be read at our Translations of Seamus Heaney event, which has a Field Day thread running through it:
writersweek.ticketsolve.com/…
Sweeney Astray is Heaney's version of the Irish medieval poem Buile Shuibhne. It is based on an earlier translation by J.G O'Keeffe.
"My hand was locked in Sweeney's hand
until he heard a loud command;
he was called to Moira, bid to join
battle with Donal on the plain." #SnaG23
In case you missed it, the 2022 Seamus Deane Annual Lecture is now available to view.
Watch the lecture by Professor Brendan O'Leary of University of Pennsylvania on 'Key Choices in Irish Reunification'.
