{"product_id":"finders-keepers-1","title":"Finders Keepers","description":"Finders Keepers is a gathering of Seamus Heaney's prose of three decades. Whether autobiographical, topical or specifically literary, these essays and lectures circle the central preoccupying questions: How should a poet properly live and write? What is his relationship to be to his own voice, his own place, his literary heritage and the contemporary world?  As well as being a selection from the poet's three previous collections of prose (Preoccupations, The Government of the Tongue and The Redress of Poetry), the present volume includes material from 'The Place of Writing', a series of lectures delivered at Emory University in 1988. Also included are a rich variety of pieces not previously collected in volume form, ranging from short newspaper articles to more extended lectures and contributions to books. In its soundings of a wide range of poets - Irish and British, American and East European, predecessors and contemporaries - Finders Keepers is, as its title indicates, 'an announcement of both excitement and possession'.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53250162852227,"sku":"9780571210916N","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/6c24dd4c-9c37-4af7-a83a-6521bf13ae9f.jpg?v=1727771495","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/finders-keepers-1","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
