Description
This definitive collection of Seamus Heaney's poetry, published in a single volume for the first time, gives us the full arc of the Nobel laureate's long and varied career.
Seamus Heaney's voice is like no other—"by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive" (Helen Vendler, The New Yorker). Published in a single volume for the first time, the collected poems of Heaney is a testament to that unforgettable voice, and to the breadth and beauty of the Nobel laureate's long and brilliant career, from his first book, Death of a Naturalist (1966), to poems written for Human Chain (2010), his twelfth and final book.

If you've only ever encountered Heaney's work as a translator, or a few poems in isolation, this collection will be a feast. Bringing together the poet's work from the 1960s to the 2010s, this collection is the only one you'll need to develop an understanding of Heaney's use of language, keen eye, and ability to capture the mundane and beautiful and extraordinary all at the same time. Dip in and out, or read whole sections at a time--either way, Heaney's poems are revelatory and gripping.
