An excellent poet, one of the relatively few postwar poets whose work I have found worth reading and having on my bookshelf. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times in New York.
May he rest in peace.

His translation of Beowulf was freaking awesome.

I really liked his Beowulf. He read the audiobook as well.

Oh my gosh - so sorry to hear this - he was my favorite modern poet, and once professor at UC Berkeley. Wonderful poet - RIP Mr. Heaney.

He represented all that is the best in Irish culture.
