Seeing Things (1991), as Edward Hirsch wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "is a book of thresholds and crossings, of losses balanced by marvels, of casting and gathering and the hushed, contrary air between water and sky, earth and heaven."

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.

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.
