Selected poems from a Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney had the idea to form a personal selection of poems from across the entire arc of his writing life, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers.
Robert Lowell praised Heaney as the "most important Irish poet since Yeats.".
His books of poems, plays, translations, and essays include Opened Ground, Electric Light, Beowulf, The Spirit Level, District and Circle, and Finders Keepers.
About the Author: Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995.
It is a singular and welcoming anthology, reaching far and wide, for now and for years to come.
In 100 Poems, readers will enjoy the most loved and celebrated poems, and will discover new favorites.
But now, finally, the project has been returned to, resulting in an intimate gathering of poems chosen and introduced by the Heaney family.
He never managed to do this himself, and no other edition exists that has such a broad range, drawing from the first to the last of his prizewinning collections.
