«Door into the Dark» is Seamus Heaney's second collection of poems, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (56 pages, in English).
In these poems Heaney returns to the rural landscapes of his childhood in Northern Ireland: the village forge, the shores of Lough Neagh and the bogs are described with a sensory, physical writing style, characteristic of his early books and a gateway to his next phase.
This 1972 edition belongs to the Faber Paperbacks series; the collection continues Death of a Naturalist (1966) and precedes Wintering Out (1972).
For readers of Irish poetry and for those wishing to complete Seamus Heaney's early output.
Seamus Justin Heaney was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. He received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. Among his best-known works is Death of a Naturalist (1966), his first major published volume. American poet Robert Lowell described him as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats", and many others, including the academic John Sutherland, have said that he was "the greatest poet of our age". Robert Pinsky has stated that "with his wonderful gift of eye and ear Heaney has the gift of the story-teller." Upon his death in 2013, The Independent described him as "probably the best-known poet in the world".
