New Selected Poems 1988-2013 provides an unrivalled account of a period of work that was crowned by the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995. Together with its earlier,sibling volume,it completes the arc of a remarkable career. Shortly before his death in 2013,Seamus Heaney discussed with his publisher the prospect of a companion volume to his landmark New Selected Poems 1966-1987 aimed at presenting the second half of his career,'from Seeing Things onwards',as he foresaw it. Although he was unable to complete a edition/selection,he left behind selections that have been followed here. New Selected Poems 1988-2013 reprints the author's chosen poems from his later years,beginning with his ground-breaking volume Seeing Things (1991),his two Whitbread Books of the Year,The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999),and his multi-nominated,prize-winning volumes,Electric Light (2001),District and Circle (2006) and Human Chain (2010). The edition concludes with two posthumously published works."Simultaneously warm and chilling,as only great poetry can be."- Guardian
