First edition of the author's fourth collection of poems. Octavo. Signed by the author. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket with the slightest bit of toning to the spine.
North won the 1975 Cooper Prize. It is the first of Heany's works that directly addresses the societal difficulties Ireland endured in 1960's and '70's. "[Heaney's] awareness of a wider social world . . . reaches its culmination in North (1975), a deservedly famous volume that [Helen] Vendler regards as 'one of the crucial poetic interventions of the 20th century,' ranking with Eliot's Prufrock, Wallace Stevens' Harmonium, and Frost's North of Boston in 'its key role in the history of modern poetry'" (The New York Times).
