Poet Friends reunited in St Lucia
So Seamus Heaney is on his way to the Caribbean to see his friend Derek Walcott. So Walcott told me moments ago. They were both shortlisted for the 2010 TS Eliot Poetry Prize which Walcott won last night.ΜύBut rather than rejoice in his latest award, the Nobel laureate said on a crackly line from St Lucia that we hereΜύin Ireland should be proud of Seamus Heaney. Oh to be a fly on the wall at that reunion later today,Μύand theΜύtoasts, not to poetry prizes and media interest, but to friendshipΜύin the Caribbean sunshine.
