«The Haw Lantern» is Seamus Heaney's poetry collection, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (51 pages, in English).
In The Haw Lantern, Seamus Heaney addresses loss and the writer's consciousness; the work includes a sequence of sonnets dedicated to his mother's death and a series of meditations and allegories. Heaney's craft-like language relies on natural objects.
The Haw Lantern, originally published in 1987, won the Whitbread Award in the poetry category that same year.

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".
