«Wintering Out» is a poetry collection by Seamus Heaney, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (80 pages, in English).
Wintering Out marks Heaney's move towards the themes of maturity: desolation and isolation as necessary experiences for the growth of the imagination. Critics such as Eavan Boland and Harold Bloom highlighted its strength and singularity within poetry in the English language.
Wintering Out originally appeared in 1972 and this edition was published in 2002.
Suitable for readers of contemporary poetry, Irish literature, and the work of Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize in Literature.
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".
