New Selected Poems 1988-2013 by Seamus Heaney

4.0

I love Seamus Heaney's poetry and I have done since we did one of his poems at school. I love his voice so I read this as I listened to the audio for the full experience, which was great.

This includes a couple of selections from his Beowulf translation, which I like a lot. Beowulf was meant to be read aloud so hearing Heaney read it was a good time.

If you want to get your teeth into some excellent modern poetry then this isn't a bad selection to start off with. He writes so well about landscape and the impact of landscape.
