A review by casparb
Electric Light by Seamus Heaney

Up & down on this one! A slower start than usual & some middling poems which are unlike SH but there's a curiously Catholic thread in this which seems more explicit here than anywhere else I've encountered in his poetry. It's also the most interesting theme of the collection so it seems to lean on that which I don't awfully mind. Stronger second half.

Lovely elegies for Hughes & a sweep of Scottish poets. Title poem also wonderful
