Tolkien taught in school

Yes, Seamus Heaney is a wonderful poet! I'm sure his Beowulf is amazing. If you've got a chance, read some of his other poems as well.

one that I can't remember the title of, that dealt with a slightly mental kid being extremely jealous of his best friend, the plot culminating in said best friend dying because of actions of said mental kid.

Could that have been A Separate Peace?
