With annotations by Heaney

Heaney’s first commercially published book, Death of a Naturalist contains some of his most beloved poems. This copy was annotated by Heaney for its sale at a charity auction to benefit the British chapter of PEN. He writes that he was once described “as the poet laureate of the root vegetable.”
