Reading Seamus Heaney is a new series of public talks and group discussions that will look at the twelve main poetry collections published by Seamus Heaney between 1966 and 2010. Beginning with Death of a Naturalist from 1966, we will read one book of poems on the third Thursday of each month, guided by Seamus Heaney Centre staff, visiting writers and other guests.
By looking at entire poetry collections, participants will gain an appreciation of how Heaney’s poetic technique developed in response to the world around him: the world of his family and friends, his literary influences and the turbulent social and political context for his writing.The Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen’s holds a unique archive of broadcast materials, both television and radio, relating to the poet’s life and work. These recordings will be used to illuminate the discussions and provide context for the work we will be reading. Special Collections holds a wide range of notebooks and manuscripts, which will also play a role in our discussions of poetic development and writing technique.
With no specialist knowledge of poetry required, you can expect to acquire an understanding of Heaney’s idea that he wanted to ‘take the English lyric and make it eat stuff that it has never eaten before.’

A museum worth seeing, the setting is great, there are many Titanic stories, Chinese audio explanations are provided, but it costs &pound;5 apiece. It is worth it. Belfast is the most worth coming.

Belfast City Hall

放飞自我去游玩

Leading us from the middle stairs to the second floor by a man with a large belly, he introduced us to where we came from in the middle round handrails, really, it is the world and the north, the vast majority of foreigners. Then we led us to the hall of parliament, which is where the members of parliament meet, and there are microphones in each position, and then we started to talk about the history, functions, etc. of the building, and we were full of spirit. You can sit casually, even the position of the chancellor. After the introduction, I will lead you to visit other halls. The huge banquet hall is covered with thick and beautiful red carpets. What hall is the blue carpet is a bit unrememberable.

The castle is situated in between a mountain and sea. Gardens in the surrounding are also stunning. Moreover, if you like trekking, this is an ideal location.

Peace Wall Belfast

Historic buildings

The Peace Bridge is a beautiful landscape of Belfast, representing both a very sad history and the hopes of Northern Irish people. The walls are full of various graffiti works, most of which are paintings that represent peace in Northern Ireland, and some of them are very moving and worthy of everyone&#39;s appreciation.

Hiking

The streets of New Haierceger are a bit deserted, unlike the ancient city of Kotor, there are large cruise ships docking every day, bringing a large number of European elderly groups. But because there are fewer people, you can slowly stroll around and find more beauty.
