    The union of these erudite & informed voices, engaging in their own 'digging' from their unique perspectives, sound out clearly, assuredly & powerfully in this enjoyable & revealing exchange. I anticipate the book with excitement, safe in the knowledge that Foster will have quarried thoroughly and forged out something of a 'memory harbour' of Heaney's own, from where the insight into the great man's life & work can set sail and enrich us all.

      The following poem is dedicated to the memory of Seamus Heaney:
      Dorothy; pigtails and ruby slippers,
      she trims an emerald hedge
      with the Wizard's token clippers.
      Dorothy's farm
      and the perfect summer at its zenith;
      a welcome sublime;
      delightful birdsong with...
      a sporadic tinkle of wind-chime.
      Suddenly, the girl's clad with distress;
      points toward the yard and yells:
      "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!"
      By the barn door stands a young boy;
      ten and not much more.
      He says, ever so sweetly; almost in song:
      "Swisser Swatter! Swisser Swatter!
      Like the black between the stars; it doesn't matter!"
      Low and behold; it's Seamus Heaney;
      drowning little kittens in a bucket of water.
      He soon finds his temple in Dorothy's shade,
      her conscience hollow and eyes ablaze.
      She looks upon the fur afloat on the water,
      and says: "Little boy! Little boy! A poet should know better!
      And what's good for the goose is also good for the..."
      Oh, the horror! The horror!
