Selected Poems 1965-1975. London: Faber, 1980. Pp, 137. First Edition. A fine bright copy in dust jacket featuring photograph of the author by Mike Bunn.

Inscribed in Gaelic by Heaney on title page, and rare thus as he seldom signed his name in Irish:

“Séamus Ó h-Éanaigh, Le Gach-DeaghDhùrachd, Chelthanm, 1988.” (With Every Good Wish)

Collection of poems taken from four previous volumes, Death of a Naturalist (1966), Door Into the Dark (1969), Wintering Out (1973) and North (1975). It provides an ideal introduction of the first ten years of Heaney’s creative activity.

One of only 500 hardbound copies printed.
