digging

I really enjoyed the poem "Digging" I. sounded like Seamus Heaney's grandfather was a hardworking man. "To drink it, then to it right away." p679:20, was one of the more memorable quotes. I also find it very descriptive in the way the potatoes were dug."Nicking and slicing neatly."P679:20. The grandfather was an architect when it came to harvesting potatoes. The poem was very well done

I agree that the poem was written very well. Like a lot of poems I had a hard time looking deeper into what the speaker wanted us to know about him. He lets us know that the hard work of his grandfather and father had been done but we don't know why the speaker didn't want to do the same hard work.
