Lidský řetěz (2010) je básnická sbírka Seamuse Heaneyho, irského laureáta Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Mísí se v ní vzpomínky na rodiče, elegie na přátele, variace na Vergiliovu Aeneidu či na středověkou irskou a moderní francouzskou poezii – básníkův hlas ustavičně rozmlouvá s jinými hlasy a básně dávají prostor životům druhých. Věcnými popisy přitom stále znovu prokmitávají závratnější světla a hlubší stíny. Významové roviny se prolínají, severoirská řeka se proměňuje ve Vergiliovu Léthé a ze stárnoucího básníka se na okamžik stává nedočkavý plavčík vyplouvající za prvním dobrodružstvím. Úžas z obzorů a péče o konkrétno – ve střídání těchto dvou momentů spočívá Heaneyho vidění světa.
