SAT SAT 08:00 Archive on 4 b03c241n (Listen) SAT Yeats and Heaney: A Terrible Beauty SAT Fintan O'Toole addresses and explores the careers of the two SAT "smiling public men" who have embodied the different SAT political traditions of Ireland and stood at the same podium SAT in Stockholm, seven decades apart, to receive the Nobel SAT Prize for Literature. SAT With the sad loss of Seamus Heaney this year, this Archive SAT on Four looks at the journeys of Yeats and Heaney, from SAT being an Irish Poet to becoming a "world poet". How did SAT their lives and work mirror each other and what kind of SAT parallels, deliberate or otherwise, can we see in their SAT poetry and their careers? SAT Yeats, as the recorded archive of his interviews and SAT readings demonstrates, was acutely aware of his position as SAT a poet who gave voice to the different traditions in Irish SAT politics. Heaney wrote of his admiration for Yeats as a SAT person who "took the strain of both the major ideologies SAT that were exacerbating Irish political life." SAT As well as admiring Yeats, Heaney consciously emulated him. SAT As early as Wintering Out (1972), a collection which Heaney SAT published after he left Belfast and moved to Dublin, SAT reviewers were noting the influence of Yeats on his writing. SAT But arguably it was in Heaney's public persona that the SAT influence of Yeats can most clearly be seen. Heaney was a SAT poet from Northern Ireland who moved to Dublin and became a SAT powerful poetic voice for the whole island. Also like Yeats SAT he joined an elite band of English Language poets globally SAT known, and who was as likely to be found lecturing at SAT Harvard as at a literary festival in County Sligo or Serbia. SAT Fintan O'Toole looks back at the reputations of two of SAT Ireland's greatest poets and most important public figures. SAT Producer Mark Rickards.

SAT Is the world becoming more surreal? Have the targets of SAT Surrealism changed? SAT ToneZone, as he insists the Producer calls him, SAT investigates...

MON MON 06:30 And Go To Innisfree b00pnp9h (Listen) MON Poet Kenneth Steven explores WB Yeats's The Lake Isle of MON Innisfree. MON In his famous poem, Yeats declared that he will 'arise ... MON and go to Innisfree', and Kenneth does exactly that: MON journeying from the Strand in London, where Yeats had the MON idea, to the the Lake Isle of Innisfree in Lough Gill, near MON Sligo, investigating why the poem strikes a chord with so MON many people. MON Yeats spent many childhood summers on Lough Gill, a large MON lake with several small islands. Then his family moved to MON London, to a depressingly grey area of Kensington. One day MON while he was walking along the Strand he saw in a shop a MON fountain with a ball balanced on top of the jet and, MON somehow, the water transported him imaginatively back to the MON lough and the Isle of Innisfree. So he wrote the short poem MON which became perhaps his best known, somewhat to his chagrin MON (he was once faced by 10,000 boy scouts, chanting it in MON unison). MON The poem is a work of contrasts, opposing the city with the MON country, crowds with solitude, and peace not with war MON (though the situation in Ireland at the time was tense) but MON with stress and anxiety. It also demonstrates the poet's MON early philosophical thinking. When he speaks of planting MON nine rows of beans and living in 'the bee-loud glade', it is MON clear that he has been reading Henry Thoreau's Walden Pond, MON which, as well as being radical in its environmental MON concerns, is about freedom, about the individual in relation MON to society (it was published with his great essay On Civil MON Disobedience) and about that society in relation to other MON powers. MON Kenneth Steven's own life and work share similar concerns. MON He too is drawn to the remote and rural, and is deeply MON concerned with the cultural and political integrity of his MON country, Scotland. Here Kenneth explores all this on his MON journeying to the Lake Isle of Innisfree, starting, like MON Yeats, on the Strand in the rain, and while speaking to MON Yeats experts, historians and other poets, journeys from MON London to Sligo to Lough Gill and rows across to the Isle MON itself.

FRI FRI 11:00 Afternoon Reading b012lkkq (Listen) FRI The Foxes Come at Night, Late September FRI Cees Nooteboom is one of Holland's leading and most FRI respected authors, a writer of both novels and travel books FRI and a consummate short story writer. The Foxes Come at FRI Night, his recent collection, has won the 2010 Gouden Uil - FRI the most prestigious literary award in Flanders and is now FRI published in English. FRI The collection is set in the cities and islands of the FRI Mediterranean, territory Nooteboom knows well. The stories FRI are linked by their meditations on memory and age, on love FRI won and lost and on the fragments of life treasured in a FRI photograph or a detail. FRI In 'Gondolas' a fine art dealer finds the past stirred by a FRI photograph taken on the same Venetian canal bank forty years FRI ago. In 'Thunderstorm' a couple's own fissures are reflected FRI in a horrific moment on a beach. And in 'Late September' a FRI woman waits on a windblown Spanish cafe terrace before the FRI inevitable conclusion to her lonely day. FRI Written with haunting attention to detail and pitch perfect FRI prose, sensitively translated by Ina Rilke, these stories FRI show one of the European masters of the genre at his best.
