Sweeney Astray: A Version from the Irish is a version of the Irish poem Buile Shuibhne written by Seamus Heaney, based on an earlier edition and translation by J. G. O'Keeffe.[2][3][4] The work was first published in 1983 and won the 1985 PEN Translation Prize for poetry.[5]
Photographer Rachel Giese and Heaney later collaborated to juxtapose selected passages of Heaney's translation with Giese's photographs of sites mentioned in the text, a work published as Sweeney's Flight.[6][7]
Selections from Sweeney Astray appear in:
Sweeney's Flight.
