100 PoemsSeamus Heaney had the idea to form a personal selection from across the entire arc of his poetry, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers. He never managed to do this in his lifetime, and no edition exists which has such a broad range, drawing from first collection to last. But now, at last, the project has been returned to, resulting in an intimate gathering of poems chosen and introduced by the Heaney family.

mingling with the mighty

[Her] attentive

A successful civil engineer

and objective values as completely nonsensical

Raised outside of Boston
