Seamus Heaney: Poet of Contrary Progressions

Irish Studies, Syracuse University Press

by Henry Hart

An assessment of Heaney's poetry and prose, tracing his "contrary progressions" through phases of affirmation and despair. Hart explores Heaney's work from the 1960s to "The Haw Lantern", seeking in the poems those elements and traits that Heaney allusively indicates in his prose.
