amazing poetry delivered perfectly
I listen to this every night; comforting, beautiful, moving. Heaney’s writing talent is inimitable. His voice is the honey of cheerfulness.

Lazy Audiobook Production From Faber
The three audiobook editions of Seamus Heaney's Collected Poems present the author reading his first eleven poetry collections in their entirety, plus selections from the twelfth. The recordings of the first eleven collections were made in 2009 at Beacon Studios in Dublin, and it was, according to the executive producer of the recordings, Lorelei Harris, a 'mammoth task'. Also included in volume three are live recordings of Heaney reading eleven poems from his twelfth collection. One interesting feature of listening to these recordings while following along with the printed books is that some of the poems differ slightly from the originally published works - not by much, just very occasionally he changes or adds a word here and there. Given that these are such important and wonderful recordings of Heaney's poetic work, it is a great shame that Faber couldn't be bothered to go to the effort of adding in chapter titles. Thus, one stands little to no chance of finding a specific poem as volume one has 160 unnamed chapters, volume two has 230 unnamed chapters, and volume three has 177 unnamed chapters. While one cannot fault the content of these three audiobooks, it is unfortunate that Faber doesn't show the same care for their audiobooks that they do for their print books. For an example of how to do it properly, see the audiobook edition of Paul Muldoon's 'Selected Poems 1968 - 2014', which is correctly chaptered and also published by Faber, so they could do a better job of chaptering Heaney's Collected Poems if they wanted to.
