Heaney is suggesting that poetry has the power to take us on a journey of self-reflection and exploration, permitting us to get insight into our own lives and the world around us. Heaney is also most likely describing the power of poetry to bridge spaces in between people, allowing us to get in touch with each other and understand each other's point of views. By crediting poetry for making this space-walk possible, Heaney is highlighting the power of poetry to bring us closer together and to help us get a much better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
