SummaryIn 1975, Seamus Heaney came out with his fourth book of poetry, North. Although the third volume, “Wintering Out” foreshadows many of the same themes, it is North, according to several critics that develops these themes, and establishes a turning point in Heaney’s poetry. According to Anthony Thwaite, journalist for the Time Literary Supplement in 1975, the book is not only “mature” but “noble” as well.
