TRANSLATIONS OF SEAMUS HEANEY (HB)

Translation informed over fifty years of Seamus Heaney's critical and creative output. The breadth and depth in evidence here is extraordinary: from the stark landscapes of Sweeney's Ireland to Virgil and Dante's living underworlds, from monastic hymns and prayers to the civic and familial tragedies of Sophocles and Kochanowski. The translations are framed with the poet's own writings on his works, drawing from various introductions, interviews and commentaries.
