Field Work: Poems.
New York: Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1979. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine price-clipped dust jacket. Heaney's fifth book can be read as record of Heaney’s four years (1972-1976) living in rural County Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland after leaving the violence of The Troubles. Heaney said in an interview, Field Work "was an attempt to try to do something deliberately: to change the note and to lengthen the line, and to bring elements of my social self, elements of my usual nature, which is more convivial than most of the poems before that might suggest, to try to bring all that into play."
