The Letters of Seamus Heaney by Seamus Heaney

Description In this wonderful selection, spanning fifty years of Seamus Heaney’s correspondence, we are given access as never before to the life and poetic development of a literary titan – from his early days in Belfast, through his controversial decision to settle in the Republic, to the gradual broadening of horizons that culminated in the award of a Nobel Prize and the years of international acclaim that kept him heroically busy until his death. Editor Christopher Reid draws from both public and private archives to reveal this story in the poet’s own words. Listening to his voice, we find ourselves in the same room as a man whose presence enriched the world immeasurably, and whose legacy continues to deepen our sense of what truly matters.
