Seamus Heaney Paperback – March 4, 2000

This volume should be in every poetry lover's (digital) library. The Kindle edition is great because it allows me to easily access the poetry "on the go".

A careful and illuminating reading of the work of a great poet by a splendid critic, An important contribution.

I found this to be an intelligent, intuitive and highly sympathetic guide to Heaney's poetry. An excellent aid to study at all levels.

The modest format of this series doesn't keep Vendler from generating a shrewd series of readings of Heaney's poems. Sane and sensitive, this fine meeting of poet and critic reveals both to advantage.
