Industry Reviews
"Mr. Heaney is a poet of excision; he knows just what to leave out in order to let the reader in....'Clearances,' along with his earlier 'Glamnore Sonnets,' rescues an outworn form from cliche and stands among the best sonnet sequences written in English in this century. Some half a dozen poems here signal a new direction....[T]he poems in this vein show Mr. Heaney experimenting, enlarging his powers of invention."
New York Times Book Review - Mark Rudman (12/20/1987)
"The book has an exhilarating variety: ballad and translation, riddle and dramatic monologue, complaint, blessing, eulogy, dream vision, love poem. Everywhere he writes with a cadenced ease."
New Republic - J. D. McClatchy (12/21/1987)
"The best of 'The Haw Lantern' is...estrangingly demanding and spare, and almost frighteningly assured in the way it carries its own commentary along with it."
Times Literary Supplement - Neil Corcoran (01/26/1987)
