HEANEY, Seamus.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Is Acher Ingaíth Innocht (Wind Fierce to-Night). Heaney's 2007 Christmas card, one of 300 copies signed by the author. Although not marked as such, the recipient was his close friend and patron Paul Sullivan, a stockbroker in Massachusetts. This copy was acquired directly from Sullivan's estate. The ninth-century Old Irish poem is printed on the left-hand side of the card with Heaney's translation parallel.
