About this Item
First edition, first printing. Hardcover issue. Original red cloth lettered and ruled in silver to the spine, in dustwrapper (the front panel showing a haw berry). A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. The pages are uniformly toned (less than usual, however) owing to the poor quality paper-stock. Complete with the fine dustwrapper which has a light crease to the upper corner of the front flap. Loosely laid in is a flyer for the Poetry Book Society (The Haw Lantern was one of the society's chosen books). Not price-clipped (£7.95 net to the front flap). A lovely copy. Heaney's seventh collection, which includes the sonnet sequence, 'Clearances', written in memory of the poet's mother (in 2015, the third poem of the sequence was voted Ireland's favourite poem of the past one hundred years). There are also poems for, in memory of, and in tribute to Norman MacCaig, Robert Fitzgerald, and William Golding. (Brandes and Durkan A41). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Seller Inventory # 26149
