Electric Light
London: Faber & Faber, 2001. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. Fine / Fine. Item #006677
Full black cloth boards. 81 pp. Very slight age toning to edges of pages, else a fine copy. Seamus Heaney's new collection travels widely in time and space, visiting the sites of the classical world, revisiting the poet's childhood: rural electrification and the light of ancient evenings are reconciled within the orbit of a single lifetime. Electric Light ranges from short takes to conversation poems whose cunning passagework gives rein to the 'the must and drift of talk.'.
