Mystic poems from the Celtic-Nordic Axis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
These poems connect the twenty first century reader with the Celtic past of Ireland, in a unique way: through the experience of the marauding Vikings. Wonderful poems with a mythic edge. Heaney is fantastic. Fans of Heaney's Beowulf translation will find a great introduction to his work here in this accessible group of poems.

I don't know much about poetry, but as a fan of Irish culture, I decided to pick up this small collection. I was moved by the images. Heaney brought the past alive. I could picture the Vikings coming up the Shannon and storming Clen McNois and other monastries. Definately recommended!
