Price: US$600.00 + shipping

Description: First American edition of the author's second book. Octavo, original black cloth. Signed by Seamus HeaneyÂon the title page. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with two closed tears to the front panel. A very sharp example. Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney’s Door Into the Dark focuses on his native Ireland, and especially the rural people, and their work. "Heaney has the gift of finding a new and consummate phrase to evoke physical qualities, and when these take on symbolic resonance the result is superb. . . . [This] collection as a whole is a splendid achievement" (The Guardian).
