Born on his family's farm, Mossbawn, thirty miles from Belfast, Ireland, Seamus Heaney has said County Derry is the "country of the mind" where much of his poetry is grounded. Gaelic cultural and political heritage is the crux of Heaney's poetry, though celebration of life and knowledge permeate all his writing.
