While there she met Seamus Heaney where they enjoyed a Hardy Pilgrimage and read poetry at Stinsford Church in Dorchester. While it was a couple of decades before she could dive into Irish Literature and write her own versions of Irish stories, it was the time that inspired her to someday learn to "dig with a pen."
