书籍简介/Book Description

《谢默斯·希尼：新诗选 1988-2013》对1995年获得诺贝尔文学奖的那段时间的作品提供了重要的解释说明。该书与前册一起，为谢默斯·希尼的非凡的职业生涯的画下了一条精彩弧线。

在2013年去世前不久，谢默斯·希尼与他的出版商讨论了为他具有里程碑意义的《1966-1987年新诗选》编写一本配套的书，旨在展示他职业生涯的后半部分，正如他所预见的那样，"从看到的东西开始"。虽然他没能完成一个版本/选集，但他留下的选集在这里得到了遵循。

《谢默斯·希尼：新诗选 1988-2013》重印了作者晚年的精选诗作，从他的开创性诗集《幻视》（1991年）、他的两本惠特布雷德年度图书《酒精水准仪》（1996年）和《贝奥武夫》（1999年），以及他获得多项提名的获奖诗集《Electric Light》（2001年）、《故地轮回》（2006年）和《人类之链》（2010年）开始。本重印版包括了作者两部遗作。

New Selected Poems 1988-2013 provides an unrivalled account of a period of work that was crowned by the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995. Together with its earlier, sibling volume, it completes the arc of a remarkable career.

Shortly before his death in 2013, Seamus Heaney discussed with his publisher the prospect of a companion volume to his landmark New Selected Poems 1966-1987 aimed at presenting the second half of his career, 'from Seeing Things onwards', as he foresaw it. Although he was unable to complete a edition/selection, he left behind selections that have been followed here. New Selected Poems 1988-2013 reprints the author's chosen poems from his later years, beginning with his ground-breaking volume Seeing Things (1991), his two Whitbread Books of the Year, The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999), and his multi-nominated, prize-winning volumes, Electric Light (2001), District and Circle (2006) and Human Chain (2010). The edition concludes with two posthumously published works.
