Gregory Award, the Somerset Maugham Award and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.\u003cbr\u003e''His words give us the soil-reek of Ireland, the colourful violence of his childhood on a farm in Derry. The full-blooded energy of these poems makes Death of a Naturalist the best first book of poems I''ve read for some time.'' - C.B. Cox in the Spectator \u003cbr\u003e''The power and precision of his best poems are a delight, and as a first collection Death of a Naturalist is outstanding [...] His subject is those things which are inherent or inherited. What he praises is to be praised in his own work.'' - Christopher Ricks, New Statesman\u003cbr\u003e''Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime, \u003cbr\u003eTo stare big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring\u003cbr\u003eIs beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme\u003cbr\u003eTo see myself, to set the darkness echoing.''","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56008867414351,"sku":"9780571230839","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780571230839_1-death-of-a-naturalist.jpg?v=1758777998","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/death-of-a-naturalist","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
