New Selected Poems 1988-2013 provides an unrivalled account of a
period of work that was crowned by the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1995. Together with its earlier, sibling volume, it completes the arc
of a remarkable career.
Shortly before his death in 2013, Seamus Heaney discussed with his
publisher the prospect of a companion volume to his landmark New
Selected Poems 1966-1987 aimed at presenting the second half of his
career, 'from Seeing Things onwards', as he foresaw it. Although he
was unable to complete a edition/selection, he left behind selections
that have been followed here. New Selected Poems 1988-2013 reprints
the author's chosen poems from his later years, beginning with his
ground-breaking volume Seeing Things (1991), his two Whitbread Books
of the Year, The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999), and his
multi-nominated, prize-winning volumes, Electric Light (2001),
District and Circle (2006) and Human Chain (2010). The edition
concludes with two posthumously published works.
