A propos de cet article

Broadside. Measuring approximately 16½" x 11½". Illustrated with portraits of Heaney and Synge with a map of Glanmore from the 1837 Ordnance Survey Ireland map in the background. Fine. Signed by Heaney with the first line of "Song" written out in his hand: "A rowan like a lipsticked girl." Issued in an edition of 25 copies, only the first six copies contain the holograph line of verse; this is copy number 4. Also present is a publisher's information sheet (5¾" x 8¼", fine) printing the limitation and details about the publication. It states in part: "Glanmore is an important location in the lives of the poet and playwright, John Millington Synge and Nobel laureate, Seamus Heaney. Synge spent many holidays on the family estate at Glanmore Castle and explored the beauties of Co. Wicklow from there as exemplified by his poem Prelude. Seamus Heaney and his wife moved to the area in the early 70s and it is a place where he has written many of his best-loved poems including Glanmore Sonnets and Song, which he chose specially for this broadside." Published to help fund the restoration and enlargement of the former National School to provide a community hall and heritage center for the people of Ashford. A handsome broadside issued in a remarkably small limitation, on a subject dear to both poets. *OCLC* locates three copies (Boston College and North Carolina [1/19] and Emory [1/6]).
