  2. Seamus Heaney, or any poet, like any writer, fearful for the next word?

  3. Thanks all.
    Yes, quite a turn-up for the books isn't it? I rather think it is only since his stroke, which I suppose changes things a bit, even though his latest book to my mind is as good as many of his previous ones.
