<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Poems, 1965-1975</i> collects a decade of verse from Seamus Heaney, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the most important Irish poet since Yeats (Robert Lowell). </b> <p/>This volume gathers nearly all of the poems from Heaney's first four collections: <i>Death of a Naturalist</i> (1966), <i>Door into the Dark</i> (1969), <i>Wintering Out</i> (1972), and <i>North</i> (1975).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Heaney is keyed and pitched unlike any significant poet now at work in the language, anywhere." --<i>Harold Bloom, The Times Literary Supplement</i> <p/>"In 1938, not a moment too soon, W. B. Yeats abmonished his colleagues: 'Irish poets, learn your trade.' Seamus Heaney, born the following year, has learned his trade so well that it is now a second nature wonderfully responsive to his first." --<i>Denis Donoghue, The New York Times Book Review (front page)</i> <p/>"His is the most striking talent to come out of Ireland since that of the late Patrick Kavanagh." --<i>Stephen Spender</i> <p/>"Heaney has all the primary gifts of a poet, and they are gifts put at the service of a constant meditation on primary themes, on nature and history and moral choice." --<i>John Gross, The New York Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Seamus Heaney</b> (1939-2013) received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995.
