Seamus Heaney was the most famous, and many would say the best poet in the world. He was a towering international cultural presence whose poetry illuminated the details of quotidian life and labours. In the year since his death last August, the world is still taking measure of Seamus Heaney, and this month on The Enright Files, we pay tribute to the man and his poetry.

Guests on the program:

Dr. Ray Bassett - Ireland's Ambassador to Canada

Scott Griffin - Canadian businessman and founder of the Griffin Prize for Poetry

Helen Vendler - Harvard professor and former poetry critic for The New Yorker
