Where Genesis Begins

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The poet Patrick Kavanagh was raised and self-educated on a small farm in County Monaghan. He longed for the liberation and stimulus of Dublin. Disillusionment with the city brought in his closing years a 'return to simplicity'.

Seamus Heaney introduces this presentation of Kavanagh's poetic imagination.
