Synopsis
District and Circle (2006) is a collection of poems written by Irish Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney. It is the poet's most recent volume, published forty years after his debut Death of a Naturalist, and was awarded the 2006 T. S. Eliot Prize. District and Circle are both lines on the London Underground.
Reviews
On Apr 7 2019, The Old Library Bookshop said:
How many stars does one humble reader give to a book of poetry written by a poet who was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature? Who am I to judge such a shining light? Of course, Heaney's poetry is marvelous. It's just a bit too earthy and masculine to touch me in the same way as that of, say, another Irish poet, Eavan Boland. A cursory reading isn't quite enough to judge the merits of the poetry, but nor was it enough to whet my appetite for more any time soon.
