Stunning
I listen to these poems going to sleep. There is something about the imagery in Heaney's poetry which is so raw and candid that you will be sometimes repulsed and other times amazed and affected. Perhaps the most brilliant poet of the past 100 years heretofore.

Close to the bone
Heaney's poetry sinks deep and touches nerves. I'm not a big poetry reader but this paints stories I can relate to.

Marvellous poetry read by the poet
Seamus Heaney reads his own early poetry. Wonderful poetry, beautifully read. What more can I say?

It’s a pity the names of each of the poems are not with the chapter numbers
