The Spirit Level
The Spirit Level: Poems | Seamus Heaney
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In The Spirit Level, as ever with Seamus Heaney, personal memory and humble domestic objects -- a whitewash brush, a sofa, a swing -- are endowed with talismanic significance, and throughout the collection he addresses his growing concerns, which inevitably include the political situation in his native Northern Ireland, in a poetry that never ceases to be fluid, alert, and completely truthful.

I knew this book was used when I bought it, but this takes “Used” to a whole nother level! (I‘m holding onto my American Midwestern roots by saying “nother”.)

Every page is like this.

@BookishMarginalia - this makes me think of you! I hope you‘re well. 😊

I fell back in love w poetry after reading this back in December and began writing again. Such is the inspiration that Heaney's words evoked deep inside of me. Irish poets and Irish whiskey and the Irish countryside: all unnervingly beautiful.

I was about to take a photo of Seamus Heaney's book The Spirit Level in front of the fireplace but my husband was just about to put the fire out. So instead he got to pose with the book. He's a good sport, and at least in my book is poetry in motion!

This might just break the internet. 😂😂😂
