“This collection of poems by Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney contains some of his best poetry. My favorite set is the famous “Death of a Naturalist” poems. Listen to these lines found in the opening poem, “The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slap of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge through living roots awaken in my head. But I’ve no spade to follow men like them. Between my finger and my thumb the squat pen rests. I’ll dig with it” (“Digging”). ”
