Poems exploring the theme of loss - including a beautiful sonnet sequence concerning the death of the poets mother - are joined by meditations on the conscience of the writer and exercises in an allegorical vein."- Publisher "Heaneys voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself."- Helen Vendler
