Title: Death of a Naturalist
Author: Seamus Heaney
Publisher: Faber and Faber
Year: 1966/1999
46 pages
Heaney's first collection is that slender volume of poetry you wish you'd written. For the most part thematically organized, the poems show Heaney's early promise and sophistication. They also demonstrate the young poet's sometimes-laborious use of rhyme and word choice. An interesting comparison to his more seasoned works, such as North, which includes my favorites, the bog poems.
