Station Island - Paperback

by Seamus Heaney (Author)

The title poem of this collection, set on an Irish island, tells of a pilgrim on an inner journey that leads him back into the world that formed him, and then forward to face the crises of the present. Writing in The Washington Post Book World, Hugh Kenner called this narrative sequence as fine a long poem as we've had in fifty years.
