Seamus Heaney was careful in his use of the word love. However, he ‘risks’ the word at key moments in his writing life such as the death of his mother and the birth of his first grandchild. This inaugural Arts Week Lecture, given by Dr Gary Wade, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s Assistant Chaplain, explores several poems which celebrate the bonds that link us together in what Heaney calls ‘the human chain’ of love.
