This was Seamus Heaney’s first published collection. I already knew some of the poems; Digging, BlackBerry Picking, Mid-term Break, and Personal Helicon were all poems I had heard or read before.
This collection introduced me to more, some stand-outs for me on this reading that I hadn’t heard before were, The Early Purges, Scaffolding, For the Commander of the Eliza and Saint Francis and the Birds. However I think I could come back to this collection at a different time and others would appeal to me.
