HEANEY, SEAMUS (1939-2013),
The Road to Derry, A copy of the Derry Journal for 31 January 1997, newspaper folio, 28 pp, containing first publication on p. 3 of The Road To Derry, a twelve line poem which Heaney wrote for Luke Kelly in memory of the Bloody Sunday killings in Derry. Brandes & Durkan C694. Also published the following day in the Guardian newspaper, and in a theatre programme the following September; otherwise unpublished and uncollected. A very good copy.
Apparently Heaney intended that it might be sung to the air of The Boys of Mullaghbawn, but Kelly felt the air was too slow and it was never performed.
