Abstract

The present research paper aims to reflect upon the various autobiographical elements projected throughout the poetry of Seamus Heaney. No poet, or for that matter artist of any sort can be isolated from the very circumstances prevailing around her/him. Nor do her/his poetic creations can be abandoned completely from the events of her/his life. In fact, Heaney's poetic faculty collected food for the real poetic production from his own life experiences which were in close proximity to him since his childhood to his mature years.
