Description

First Edition, SIGNED BY THE POET, SEAMUS HEANEY. 8vo, in the publisher's original green paper-covered boards, lettered on the spine in gilt, and in the original dustjacket. [xi], 76 pp. A very fine copy, both book and jacket as mint and pristine.

Edizione: signed by seamus heaney, who received the 1995 nobel prize in literature. this collection, district and circle, won the 2006 t. s. eliot prize, the most prestigious poetry award in the united kingdom. it also won the irish times "poetry now award".<br> ?[heaney's] voice carries the authenticity and believability of the plainspoken--even though (herein his magic) his words are anything but plainspoken. his stanzas are dense echo chambers of contending nuances and ricocheting sounds. and his is the gift of saying something extraordinary while, line by line, conveying a sense that this is something an ordinary person might actually say.? brad leithauser, the new york times book review
