This is a collection of poems by Seamus Heaney, which was the first of his works to directly reference the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Contents include 'Funeral Rites', 'Bog Queen', 'Kinship', 'Ocean's Love to Ireland', 'Hercules and Antaeus', and 'The Unacknowledged Legislator's Dream'.
Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. He is best-known for works such as 'Death of a Naturalist', and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995.
