Posted by: NEWSFLASH: Poetry Ireland to Livecast Heaney Reading TODAY | Irish Publishing News on February 17th, 2010 at 1:15 pmThanks for this. There´s no way I´d have got to see it otherwise. A perfect break during rewrites. Is it also recorded, for people to view later?
Posted by: Elizabeth Rose Murray on February 17th, 2010 at 2:35 pmTurned up for the SH reading told it was full, am disappointed and disgusted, I support the Gallery readings. Could have watched the live stream.

Especially disappointed because I attended readings on previous two Wednesdays and some last year. Thanks for the video and congrats to you and the Gallery on the Readings initiative.
Posted by: Eamon Sheppard on February 18th, 2010 at 8:54 pmSeamus Heaney’s poem about the child’s death was so moving and visual. The last line about the size of the coffin “a foot for every year” was particularly poignant.
