Sinossi
Vincitore del premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1995, Seamus Heaney è uno dei più grandi protagonisti del rinascimento culturale irlandese. La sua lirica, come suggerisce Roberto Mussapi, è fortemente legata alla realtà e ai miti della sua terra, ma non assume mai connotazioni particolaristiche o nazionalistiche, si traduce al contrario in una partecipe esplorazione della natura, in un viaggio capillare nel paesaggio, nei segreti delle sue acque e delle sue torbiere, nella vita germinale della campagna. La sua poesia è un incessante lavoro di scavo, la sua penna è, come lui stesso ha scritto, una vanga affondata nella terra alla ricerca delle nostre origini e dei misteri primordiali dell’essere, ma sempre entro i confini dell’esperienza quotidiana e concreta.

Poems about the land –descriptive – Imagist perhaps, in their roots – close to the prose of an old local voice disclosing local lore – does anyone really speak prose? Poems about living on and from the land in various guises, and living on and from the water – close to mystical at times – the fatalis Leggi tutto
This collection continues and expands the loamy Irish ethos that so gloriously permeates Heaney’s first publication; one begins to think that he could have composed the entire collection at one cast while seated on the same few acres of Celtic clay and shoreline, so rooted is he in the peculiar plac Leggi tutto
In Door into the Dark, Heaney tightens up his verse a bit after Death of a Naturalist, focusing more heavily on rhyme and exercising at various points a skewed sonnet styling, which actually works quite well —as well as a sort of ballad styling in the various nature odes. Besides the wondrous Lough Leggi tutto
Heaney's second collection is a clear evolution from 'Death of a Naturalist' and "Elegy for a Still Born Child" is deftly written and emotionally devastating, showing the power of Heaney's poetry even at this early stage.
Very nice and good !
There was only a few poems in here I enjoyed. My favourite was the salmon Fisher to the salmon. Solid 2.5 stars.
