A Post-colonial representation in Irish-English: focusing on Seamus Heaney’s poetry of locality

Unrer and after the colonial experience, most of Irish poets have continually struggled against English political system and its language as a colonial one. But Heaney has consistently defended poetry as agent for redressing injustices in the corrupt world and at the same time as something to be re-established and celebrated in his own right. The process of Haney's quest for playing colonial language for his Irish identity as a poet can be effectively understood by examining the way in which he employs the poetic of redress. The main subject of Heaney' s poetry is to find out his Irish identification with the past linguistic tradition and its continuity. The subject is linked with the questioning of how to tum to playing the colonial language between the English language and the Irish language so called Gaelic which has been dominated by the ideology of colonialism The major focus of this essay is in his redress of poetic language and playing colonial language as well as in how he appropriates language in his poetry. In this regard, I try to search for the true linguistic attitude which Heaney has made every effort to materialize in his poetry. In short, Heaney' s poetics can help his writings maintain the positionality of the decolonial dicourse and the decolonial literature.
