Synopsis Author

Seamus Heaney had the idea to form a personal selection of poems from across the entire arc of his writing life, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers. He never managed to do this himself, and no other edition exists which has such a broad range, drawing from first to last of his prize-winning collections. But now, finally, the project has been returned to, resulting in an intimate gathering of poems chosen and introduced by the Heaney family.

In 100 Poems, readers will enjoy the most loved and celebrated poems, as well as discovering new favourites. It is a singular and welcoming anthology, reaching out far and wide, now and for years to come.

Seamus Heaney

Beginning with his first major published work, the 1966 collection Death of a Naturalist, Seamus Heaney gradually became recognised as perhaps the world’s leading poet in the English language. A Nobel laureate, Heaney twice secured the Whitbread Book of the Year Award (for The Spirit Level and Beowulf: A New Translation) and won the T.S. Eliot Prize for his collection District and Circle. The Rattle Bag, the anthology he co-curated with Ted Hughes, is one of the finest and popular poetry collections of its kind.
