Seamus Heaney's version of Philoctetes is a fast-paced, brilliant work excellently suited to the stage. Heaney keeps the majesty of the Greek original, but manages to give his verse the flavor of Irish speech and context." ... a purifying play, in the great tradition of modern Irish drama."--John Peter, The Sunday Times. --Publisher.

Heaney here scrutinizes the work of several poets, British and Irish, American and European, whose work he considers might call into question the rights of poetic utterance. The author asks whether the voice of the poet should be governed, or whether it should be the governor.

Seamus Heaney describes the haw lantern as "small light for small people" but there is more than tiny illumination emanating from one of Ireland's premier poets. Heaney peppers this short collection of poems with crafty language and natural objects: "I heard the hatchet's differentiated/Accurate cut, the crack, the sigh/And collapse of what luxuriated/Through the shocked tips and wreckage of it all." The Haw Lantern won England's Whitbread Prize in 1987.
