Heaney Seamus. FIELD WORK. New York Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1979, 1979.
Price: US$110.00 + shipping
Description: First American edition. 8vo, publishers original brown cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine and upper cover, in the pictorially illustrated dustjacket. 66. A very fine copy, as pristine, very minimally mellowed on the spine panel. A good group of very interesting reviews and clippings laid in at the front of the book A MASTERFUL COLLECTION. "At the center of this collection is a sonnet sequence set in Glanmore, where the poet lived for four years after having left the turbulence of Belfast in 1972. Themes apparent elsewhere in the book are concentrated in these poems: the individuals responsibility for his own choices, the artists commitment to his vocation, the vulnerability of all in the face of circumstance and death. There are also groups of love poems and elegies - in memory of Francis Ledwidge, Robert Lowell, and Sean ORieda, among others - as well as a powerful translation of two Cantos from Dantes" Inferno."

[Poetry] Heaney, Seamus.. Field Work: Poems.. Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1979.
Price: US$150.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine copy in a Fine price-clipped dust jacket. Heaney's fifth book can be read as record of Heaney s four years (1972-1976) living in rural County Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland after leaving the violence of The Troubles. Heaney said in an interview, Field Work "was an attempt to try to do something deliberately: to change the note and to lengthen the line, and to bring elements of my social self, elements of my usual nature, which is more convivial than most of the poems before that might suggest, to try to bring all that into play."
