The Poems of Seamus Heaney
Nobel Prize in Literature 1995.
This is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaney’s poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poet’s family.
It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the ‘lyrical beauty and ethical depth’ cited by the Nobel Committee: poems ‘which exalt everyday miracles and the living past’.
Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this an essential volume of admirers of Heaney’s work.
