«Poems, 1965-1975» is Seamus Heaney's poetry collection published by Noonday Press in paperback (240 pages, in English).
The volume gathers nearly all the poems from Seamus Heaney's first four poetry collections: Death of a Naturalist (1966), Door into the Dark (1969), Wintering Out (1972) and North (1975). The selection spans a decade of his work and reflects his ties to Ireland and nature, themes present in these early titles.
The author received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995, a distinction noted on the cover. The original compilation appeared in 1980; this Noonday Press edition is from 1988.
For those approaching Seamus Heaney's poetry for the first time or wishing to gather his first four books in a single volume.
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".
