‘Tribute to a Reporter in Belfast, 1974’: the first #PaulDurcan poem I read; the thrill of reading a poem by a living Irish poet (&what a poem!) was matched only by later meeting Paul, who taught so many of us so much. ‘Day and night his integrity of words has sustained us’.

As we continue to mourn the passing of Paul Durcan, one of Ireland’s most renowned contemporary poets, we are reflecting on the mutual admiration he shared with Seamus Heaney. #NLI #SeamusHeaney
