This is a very touching set of poems with skillfully-used, beautiful language. Many of the poems cover the period of The Troubles in Ireland, but they do so in a narrative format that draws the reader in. I found the poems I enjoyed most were the autobiographical ones, for the intriguing comparisons/metaphors they include, and their unique, provocative language. This is one of those books that everyone should read, solely for Heaney's commend of language. I enjoyed this collection, and learned a lot while reading, two details that make this one of those collections all literary people should read.
