Selected Poems 1966-1987

release date: Jan 13, 2014
Selected Poems 1966-1987
"Between my fingers and my thumb The squat pen rests. I''ll dig with it." Selected Poems 1966-1987 assembles the groundbreaking work of the first half of Seamus Heaney''s extraordinary career. This edition, arranged by the author himself, includes the seminal early poetry that struck readers with the force of revelation and heralded the arrival of an heir to Gerard Manley Hopkins, W. B. Yeats, and Robert Frost. Helen Vendler called Heaney "a poet of the in-between," and the work collected here dwells in the borderlands dividing the ancient and the contemporary, the mythic and the quotidian. Gathering poetry from his first seven collections, Selected Poems 1966-1987 presents the young man from County Derry, Northern Ireland, who "emerged from a hidden, a buried life" in Death of a Naturalist (1966), with his cherished poems "Digging" and "Mid-term Break"; the poet of conscience "as bleak as he is bright" in "Whatever You Say Say Nothing" and "Singing School"; and the astonishingly gifted, mature craftsman behind Field Work (1979) and Station Island (1984)-an artist uncannily attuned to the "music of what happens," restlessly searching "for images and symbols adequate to our predicament." This volume, together with its companion Selected Poems 1988-2013, allows us to revisit the essential work of one of the great writers of our age through his own compilation.

The Midnight Verdict

release date: Jan 01, 2000
The Midnight Verdict
"Each of the translations in this book can be read for its own sake or as part of a triptych. By setting excerpts of Brian Merriman''s Cuirt an Mhean Oiche within the acoustic of a classical myth (the story of Orpheus and Eurydice), Seamus Heaney provides a new and illuminating context for the eighteenth century Irish poem. For this paperback reissue, the poet has made some revisions in the text of the original Gallery Press edition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Opened Ground

release date: Jan 01, 1998
Opened Ground
This volume is a much-needed new selection of Seamus Heaney''s work, taking account of recent volumes and of the author''s work as a translator, and offering a more generous choice from previous volumes. Opened Ground: Poems 1966-1996 comes as close to being a ''Collected Poems'' as its author cares to make it. It replaces his New Selected Poems 1966-1987, giving a fuller selection from each of the volumes represented there and adding large parts of those that have appeared since, together with examples of his work as a translator from the Greek, Latin, Italian and other languages. The book concludes with ''Crediting Poetry'', the speech with which Seamus Heaney accepted the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded to him, in the words of the Swedish Academy of Letters, for his ''works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth''.

La lanterna di biancospino

release date: Feb 18, 2015
La lanterna di biancospino
«Nel canone di Seamus Heaney La lanterna di biancospino occupa un posto importante di riflessione, di recupero, si può dire quasi di silloge di momenti del percorso del suo autore, per un nuovo slancio e per una riconquista di freschezza comunicativa.» Come osserva Francesca Romana Paci nell''introduzione, The Haw Lantern è una raccolta dotata di struttura unitaria e va letta dunque come sistema. Un sistema in cui si mantiene vivo il coraggio di una ricerca «fondata nel reale, ricerca dei confini e del senso del reale stesso, del rapporto della mente con il reale, della verità nella contraddizione, dell''equilibrio tra tensioni opposte, della libertà pur nella indiscussa permanenza di legami importanti: questo è il cuore della poetica di Heaney, il vero argomento di tutta la sua poesia, il suo vero, continuo oggetto d''indagine».

La livella a bolla d'aria /The Spirit Level

release date: Sep 02, 2013
La livella a bolla d'aria /The Spirit Level
Questa e una raccolta di 21 poesie del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura 1995, Seamus Heaney, tratte da ""The Spirit Level,"" nella traduzione italiana di Erminia Passannanti. L''espressione "fortuna letteraria" e particolarmente idonea a descrivere il percorso compiuto dall''opera di Seamus Heaney nell''arco di un ventennio. L''assegnazione del Nobel per la Letteratura, nel 1995, a questo autore, mentre rappresentava il massimo tributo a un''arte poetica che aveva saputo guadagnarsi un successo di portata mondiale, focalizzava l''attenzione dell''opinione pubblica su tutta la poesia irlandese contemporanea prodotta nel nord dell''isola, e dunque, in modo indiretto, sui primi seri tentativi di una sistemazione politica del conflitto civile in nord-Irlanda.

The Redress of Poetry

release date: Jan 01, 1995
The Redress of Poetry
There is something about a treasure, wrote Joseph Conrad, that fastens on a man''s mind. And, yes, there is something about the subject of treasure hunting that continues to fascinate us. One need only browse the Web to discover a whole netherworld of treasure-hunting magazines, metal-detector clubs, and lost-mine information exchanges that apparently engage the funds and spare time of thousands of hopefuls. Charles Elliott recaptures the essential romance of the search in this collection of classic stories. Many are true - or purport to be. They take place under the sea, in jungles, on desert islands, even in the attics of old houses. What is common to them all is the excitement of the chase and the possibility - irrational, perhaps, but unavoidable - that a fabulous treasure really is there for the finding.
