Field Work Av Seamus Heaney

<p>At the centre of this collection, which includes groups of elegies and love poems, there is a short sonnet sequence which concentrates themes apparent elsewhere in the book: the individual''s responsibility for his own choices, the artist''s commitment to his vocation, the vulnerability of all in the face of circumstance and death.<br><br>''Throughout the volume Heaney''s outstanding gifts, his eye, his ear, his understanding of the poetic language are on display - this is a book we cannot do without.'' Martin Dodsworth, <i>Guardian</i></p>
