Stay awake Martin, the sun is shining, don't waste a good day.

I posted an Bonnan Bui to provide a direct link between the song tradition and Heaney poetry and translations. Any amount of poems or quotes could go here and are indeed printed everywhere in tribute at the moment.

The Irish Times' print edition has it's firs five pages fully dedicated to Heaney today, all other news pushed back.

Fintan O Toole's piece Comfort is best found in Seamus Heaney's poems fills the front page.

Full coverage here.
