Signed by Seamus Heaney on title page. 

A pivotal collection often regarded as a turning point in his career, where he shifts from the physical world to explore the boundaries between the tangible and the imagined, the living and the dead. Translations of Virgil and Dante provide a prelude and a coda.

‘Seeing Things, as the title adumbrates, is a book in which ordinary and the transfigured form part of a single vision.’
