Seeing Things

"...[I]t should be recalled that during the years of these Oxford lectures Heaney was also--and primarily--composing both the ethereal, elusive and eloquent poems of transiency printed in 'Seeing Things' (1991) and the autobiographical and mythological-political poems forthcoming in his new collection, 'The Spirit Level.' They flicker back and forth to each other, the prose and the poetry of the last six years, each a critique of the other, each an illumination of the other, and, as Heaney's accomplishment is reflected upon, they should be considered together, not apart."Heaney, Seamus is the author of 'Seeing Things', published 1993 under ISBN 9780374523893 and ISBN 0374523894.
