Book Title: Seamus Heaney, The Making of the PoetAuthor: Michael Parker
This is a very useful book, both for GCSE & A-Level students, where Heaney comes up in parts of the specification. A detailed insight is given into Heaney's life, and the book looks at the inspiration behind much of his poetry. Analysis of some poems is also given.
Particularly usefully, the book is split up into time periods, such as 'Affinities 1961-66' and 'Quickenings 1975-84'.
I'd give it: 10/10
