Seamus Heaney: Selected Poems

An episode from 8/20/21: A collection of all the poems by Seamus Heaney I have read here over the past few months, spanning his entire career. Each of his collections of poetry can of course be purchased on their own, but nearly everything I read here can be found either in his career-spanning 100 Poems, or in the two volumes of his selected poetry: Selected Poems 1966-1987 and Selected Poems 1988-2013. Death of a Naturalist (1966) Follower Poem Personal HeliconDoor Into the Dark (1969) Dream The Forge BoglandWintering Out (1972) The Tollund Man Limbo First CalfNorth (1975) Belderg Funeral Rites Bog Queen The Grauballe Man Punishment Strange Fruit KinshipField Work (1979) The Strand at Lough Beg from "Field Work"Station Island (1984) The Railway Children VII from Station Island VIII from Station Island The ScribesThe Haw Lantern (1987) III from Clearances The Mud VisionSeeing Things (1991) Seeing Things 1.1.87 #2, #8 from Lightenings #15 from Settings #25, #27, #31, #32 from Crossings #40, #42, #45, #46 from SquaringsThe Spirit Level (1996) The Strand PostscriptDistrict & Circle (2006) A Shiver #1 from "District & Circle" A Hagging MatchHuman Chain (2010) Uncoupled Miracle from "Colum Cille Cecinit" from Hermit Songs from In the Atticfrom Heaney's translation of BeowulfDon’t forget to support Human Voices Wake Us on Substack, where you can also get our newsletter and other extras.
