 Death of a Naturalist - Seamus Heaney
 Death of a Naturalist - Seamus Heaney ... fathers, the past, mortality, nature, violence, school, rural life, love, fear, and childhood.Newest Review: ... frogs are yellow in sunny weather but 'brown / In rain'. The last, brief two-word line of the first stanza seems to underline ... more ... the fact that this is the end of a period of innocence and that a change is forthcoming.
The second stanza of twelve lines is much shorter than the first and has a very different tone; the feeling of change is signalled by the opening phrase 'Then one hot day'... Unpleasant imagery begins with fields described as 'rank / with cowdung'. At the end of line two and the beginning of line three the frogs are seen as 'angry' and have 'invaded the flax-dam': they have taken over in a war-like gesture. As Heaney approached...more |

Not so long ago I read a comment by someone who felt he could not benefit in any way from reading Nobel-Prize-winning Seamus Heaney's poetry because he had nothing in common with Heaney. Well, I beg to disagree: I'm not Irish and I didn't grow up on a farm, but I can be enriched by reading these wonderful poems. I've chosen to go into detail with two of my favourite poems from this anthology, the title poem 'Death of a Naturalist', and also 'Blackberry-Picking', in the hope of showing the kind of experience that can be had from reading such poetry.

Some of the most beautiful poems ever written in any language. 
Like many rivers, Swinburne sometimes takes a long time to wind his way to sea. Reality, Humour Could offend some Intelligent play, plenty to analyse Does not appeal to everyone Beautiful, mix of poetry and prose, easily available Nothing i could think of ermmm-it's different too long powerful, amazing language difficult to translate to a modern contextSlither - Edward Lee
Horror - Lee, Edward
Blow Fly - Patricia Cornwell
good to see familiar characters again and to catch up on their lives... shame the plot isn't a little bit stronger.....and that one character "convieniently" comes back...
The Edge Chronicles: Clash of the Sky Galleons - Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell
The Pagan Stone - Nora Roberts
The Saturday Morning Murder - Batya Gur
Scandal's Bride - Stephanie Laurens
The Pure in Heart - Susan Hill
Filled with interesting characters and relationships, very realistic Open-ended nature will frustrate some; not really a "crime" novel in the strictest sense
The Hardy Boys: Mystery of the Spiral Bridge - Franklin W. Dixon
Pacy, well written, engaging. Slightly dated in parts
The Apprentice - Tess Gerritsen
Entertaining and gives the reader the beginning of an insight into what makes a killer tick Ends a bit abruptly and, as an early book, is not quite as compelling as her later novels
