Summary

'His is "close-up" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the  emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the  sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does.' John Banville 
  'More than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand  that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of.' John  Carey 
 'Heaney's voice, by turns mythological and journalistic,  rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding,  curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness  itself.' Helen Vendler
