Go in peace, Seamus Heaney

One of my favorite poets (or writers of any genre) just passed away at 74. Made me stop and catch myself for a bit. I've loved every bit of his work. This gave me the same feeling that I had when Kurt Vonnegut chucked it in.

If you haven't read any of Heaney's work -- do yourself a favor -- and pick up a copy of anything, and enjoy. Favorite collections: District and Circle, The Haw Lantern, The Spirit Level, North.
