Description
'Selected Poems 1965–1975' by Seamus Heaney brings together poetry from the first decade of his published career, including work from 'Death of a Naturalist' (1966), 'Door into the Dark' (1969) and 'Wintering Out' (1972), as well as poems written during this formative period. Heaney draws on childhood memories, rural life in County Derry, family, landscape and the history and political tensions of Northern Ireland. His poems often transform ordinary agricultural and domestic experiences into meditations on identity, memory, violence and belonging. The collection offers an early view of the development of Heaney's distinctive poetry, characterised by precise imagery, rich attention to place and a deep engagement with the physical world.
