Finders Keepers: Selected Prose 1971-2001
Finders Keepers is a gathering of Seamus Heaney's prose of three decades. Whether autobiographical, topical or specifically literary, these essays and lectures circle the central preoccupying questions: 'How should a poet properly live and write? What is his relationship to be to his own voice, his own place, his literary heritage and the contemporary world?'
As well as being a selection from the poet's three previous collections of prose (Preoccupations,
The Government of the Tongue and
The Redress of Poetry), the present volume includes material from
The Place of Writing, a series of lectures delivered at Emory University in 1988. Also included are a rich variety of pieces not previously collected in volume form.
