200627828<p>Poetry Heaney Seamus. District and Circle: Poems. New York: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2006. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. In this collection Heaney's starts "In an age of bare hands and cast iron" and ends as "The automatic lock / clunks shut" in the eerie new conditions of a menaced twenty-first century. In their haunted almost visionary clarity the poems assay the weight and worth of what has been held in the hand and in the memory. Images out of a childhood spent safe from the horrors of World War II – railway sleepers a sledgehammer the "heavyweight / Silence" of "Cattle out in rain" – are colored by a strongly contemporary sense that "Anything can happen" and other images from the dangerous present – a journey on the Underground a melting glacier – are fraught with this same anxiety. But District and Circle which includes a number of prose poems and translations offers resistance as the poet gathers his staying powers and stands his ground in the hiding places of love and excited language. </p> Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, hardcover
