"No mere adherer to form for form’s sake, Heaney proved himself capable throughout his career of ringing notes in a variety of forms from the sonnet to the villanelle and within these forms, employing a complex series of different stanza types, from his famous quatrains that featured in much of his 1970s poetry, to his variation of Dantean terza rima." Richard Rankin Russell • Irish Times "Guidebook, handbook, tribute album: the essays in this issue are even more than I hoped for." Vona Groarke • Irish Times / Poetry Ireland Review
