Welcome to Litsy!

I knew a lot of poems from this one, some of my favourites of Heaney's. The one that will never leave me alone is 'Mid-Term Break', of course, and its final line:

“A four foot box, a foot for every year.“

I couldn't point to a specific poem here that I loved, but I do enjoy Heaney's style. There's something solid about it; almost all of the poems have presence, forced me to take time to consider them.

My favorites 2020-2024 in no particular order:

• Lark Rise to Candleford by Thompson
• Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by Stone
• Here by McGuire
• The Moon Spun Round by Yeats, edited by Doody, illustrated by Macdonald
• Once and Future by Gillen, illustrated by Mora, coloured by Bonvillain
• Images by Bergman
• Cathedral by Macaulay
• The Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain edited by Pérez Cuervo
• Unquiet by Ullmann
• Matrix by Groff
