What is his relationship to his own voice, his own place, his literary heritage, and the contemporary world?\"\n\nAlong with a selection from Heaney's three previous collections of prose (Preoccupations, The Government of the Tongue, and The Redress of Poetry), the present volume includes a rich variety of pieces not previously collected in books, ranging from formal lectures to radio commentaries about the rural Ireland of his childhood to illuminating reviews of his contemporaries. In its soundings of a wide range of poets―Irish and British, American and Eastern European, predecessors, fellows, and successors―Finders Keepers becomes, as its title heralds, \"an announcement of both excitement and possession.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374528780\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0374528780.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Heaney, Seamus\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
