Uncyclopaedic



















Seamus "Chuckles" Heaney was born on 13 April, 1939 at Mossbawn, Co. Derry. The only son of poor black Northern Irish sharecroppers, he survived on twigs, leaves and Weetabix for the first decade of his life. This upbringing, along with the freedom he gained from it, continues to influence his poetry, instilling its savage rhythms. At the age of twelve, he killed his first hedgehog. With its roasting over a bin-full of rubbish, young Seamus knew he had at last attained manhood.

Muldoon has published ten collections of poetry. These are For Once It Isn't Bloody Raining (1973), Sling-backs and Espadrilles (1977), (It Was The Smell) (1980), Silly Made-Up Words (1983), Meeting The Fenians - Only Joking! (1987) (It was also, for a brief time, known as Occupational Hazards), Murdock - The A-Team's Mystery (1990), Canals full of Chilli (1994), Hey! (1998) and Moi, Sand and Gravel (2002), with which he cemented his reputation as poet dealing with concrete examples of life in Ireland and America, and for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. In response to the prize his most recent volume of poetry, published in 2006, is entitled Hoarse Platitudes.

how dare you even dare to think for a billi-second that these two Ard Ollamhs of this proud and ancient bog be gebborahed in this appallingly unworshippy way, which proves my contention that English language poets like you need to be immediately dismissed from tenure, taken out, flogged, put in the stocks, publically urinated on by a braying mob from the Isle of Unhappy and now you've shown yr true colours as an agent of the imperial dark-star force from that thoroughly dispicable and wonderfully jolly jag manufacturing megatropolis of Mucknarush in Mullingar, you wickle Bwitish space cadet bestriding the hallowed halls of Hull sirrah - 'tis time to wield
