The Redress of Poetry.
New York: Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1995. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Seamus Heaney defines the title of this work of criticism as follows: "To redress poetry is to know and celebrate it for its forcibleness as itself . . . not only as a matter of profferd argument and edifying content but as a matter of angelic potential, a motion of the soul." Throughout this collection, Heaney's insight and eloquence are themselves of a poetic order. Item #27278
Price: $50.00
