100 poems Faber & faber (Faber & Faber)

In 2013, Seamus Heaney met with Faber poetry editor Matthew Hollis in Dublin. He said that one project he would very much like to complete would be to prepare a personal selection from across his entire poetry, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers. He never managed to make the selection in his lifetime, and after his passing, the project was initially set aside. But now, at last, it has been returned to once more, and the result is an intimate gathering of poems chosen and introduced żeby the Heaney family. Coinciding with the opening of a permanent Seamus Heaney exhibition at the National Library of Ireland.
