Wintering Out by Seamus Heaney (Ronald Blythe Library)

From the library of Ronald Blythe. Includes his neat ownership inscription to front endpaper.

Originally published in 1972, this volume includes poetry written by Seamus Heaney between 1969 and 1971. ‘While the poems in Wintering Out are more formally open, they also demonstrate Heaney’s intensifying commitment to rooting his poetry in the Irish landscape. Throughout the collection, Heaney uses linguistic cues and place names to develop a sense of community and forge a connection with the Irish past volume of poetry by the poet.’

Very good conditin, some marking to covers, a couple of penned annotations by Blythe towards the back of the book.
