THE RATTLE BAG - SEAMUS HEANEY KARTONIERT (TB)

The Rattle Bag is an anthology of poetry (mostly in English but occasionally in translation)
for general readers and students of all ages and backgrounds. These poems have been selected by
the simple yet telling criteria that they are the personal favorites of the editors  themselves
two of contemporary literature's leading poets. Moreover  Heaney and Hughes have elected to
list their favorites not by theme or by author but simply by title (or by first line  when no
title is given). As they explain in their Introduction: We hope that our decision to impose an
arbitrary alphabetical order allows the contents [of this book] to discover themselves as we
ourselves gradually discovered them--each poem full of its singular appeal  transmitting its
own signals  taking its chances in a big  voluble world. With undisputed masterpieces and rare
discoveries  with both classics and surprises galore  The Rattle Bag includes the work of such
key poets as William Shakespeare  Walt Whitman  Emily Dickinson  Lewis Carroll  Dylan Thomas 
Wallace Stevens  Elizabeth Bishop  and Sylvia Plath among its hundreds of poems. A helpful
Glossary as well as an Index of Poets and Works are offered at the conclusion of this hefty 
unorthodox  diverse  inspired  and inspiring collection of poetry.
