Industry Reviews
"[Heaney] has produced an exhilarating version of this most unusual story poem....What Mr. Heaney offers as an alternative to Sweeney's pain is Mr. Heaney's own lyric gift, his inimitable music. If there is anything in this work that balances the poetry of pain, it is the poetry of praise. And what is praised most beautifully is the landscape of Ireland, its fields, meadows, hills, rivers, mountains, glens, the sea's eternal caress and threat."
New York Times Book Review - Brendan Kennelly (05/27/1984)
