Casualty- Seamus Heaney

It seems we all go to bars frequently and not always in college towns, but I still have not come to find someone like this guy who is that stereotypical bar-sitter who is always there, doesn't seem to know anyone but everyone recognizes him. It seems that no where is as comforting to him as the bar where everyone is there for similar reasons, so socialize and for this person, to drink and socialize. I really liked this poem because it gave the inside view of someone who likes the comfort of drink and the bar.
