"Seamus Heany is an Irish giant among many from this land of poets. this work is from the mid 1970's, during the height of the ''Troubles'' in Ulster. well worth reading as an introduction to his work--"
"a tiny masterpiece of heaney's - including many of his bog people poems (swoon) and some gorgeous political poems. his adept use of language and culture are on full display."
"My favorite part of this book is the relationship between first part and second part. the imagistic portrayal of the country versus the personal narrative poems. I draw a thesis in the space between these two. If Ireland has had so many different masters, or tormenters, then how is one to settle on any identity. That conflicted sense of identity, which I read with such pleasure in Derek Walcott's poems, is definitely evident here."
