Welcome to the first episode of the TCG English Department's podcast 'A Door Into The Dark'! Each week, we will bring you a conversation about different English texts that are on the Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle courses. We want to share our passion for the subject, and hope that it sparks passion in those who listen and take part. If there is a text you would like to hear about, or even contribute to (we would like students to get involved too!), please e-mail englishdepartment@templecarrigschool.ie Our first episode discusses the concept of ambition in the Shakespearean tragedy 'Macbeth'.

Catherine Hickey is joined by Georgia Lee Flynn, Eorann Kavanagh and Patrick Murtagh to discuss the powerful, playful poet Seamus Heaney. Seamus Heaney is a beloved Irish poet, winner of the Noble Prize for Literature, and former resident of the Garden of Ireland. In this pod, the crew discuss their love of Heaney, his use of allusion, aural imagery and a unique, playful tone that manages to discuss personal events in such a way that they are given magical, mythical and eternal qualities. Great art is capable of turning our ordinary existence into something extraordinary, and in Heaney, we have a diamond.
