His poems are versatile. They get visualization out of the reader. Every line is special...

i don't think this was the right time for me to have read this collection. couldn't really connect with most of the poems, nothing like my experience reading [b:Death of a Naturalist|335140|Death of a Naturalist|Seamus Heaney|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1332816205s/335140.jpg|20484]. but, of course, i will keep on reading heaney's books--of course.

Another Poetry book by Seamus. Brilliant as always. Motivates me to write about trivial things.

Another fantastic collection from Seamus Heaney. Not my favourite, the spot is still taken by Death of a Naturalist and closely followed by North and Seeing Things, but definitely a solid contender.

I liked the other Heaney collection I read better. However, the found prose collection is pretty good as is the poem dedicated to Ted Hughes

This was a surprising disappointment. I remember loving Heaney when I studied him on my semester abroad in Ireland; but now I'm left wondering if that was because of its relevancy to my life at the time and/or I was *studying* it so putting a bit more than casual reading into the text. But honestly these poems didn't really speak to me at this time in my life. Maybe I'm just not in the headspace for his poetry right now, but this took almost two full months for me to read because I never really got excited about picking it up. A few highlights but overall not that enticing.
