Perfect

The poet speaks his words. It is perfect, faultless and timeless. All mind and and heart revealing a unique emotional account of life as it has been lived with an intellectual rigour lacking pomposity. Beautiful.

A real shame the poems are not listed

An amazing selection of poems by an amazing poet. Mr. Seamus Heaney does a fabulous job in reading his own work.

But why does Audible not take the take in listing the titles of the poems, all they do is list them as chapters 1,2,3,4 etc ... what a let down.
Please Audible, fix this, as I would be hard pushed to recommend this audiobook to anyone in its current format.
This poet deserves better, your paying customers too.

Why are the poems not listed???

Great to hear Heaney reading his own poems but the poems need to be listed. Useless without a list.
