Marcie Miller, Writer. My PC Armenia Blog. Good-bye Bog, Hello Wicklow. Seamus Heaney, Poet 1939 to 2013. September 2, 2013. I had the rare and sad privilege today of being part of history, as a packed cathedral in Donnybrook, Dublin, said goodbye to a great man. Irish poet and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney died Aug. 30 in a Dublin hospital, after a long battle with the effects of a stroke some years ago. He was 74. Between my finger and my thumb.
