A Personal Selection, Seamus Heaney. Foreword by Ted Hickey.  Ulster Museum, Belfast., 1982. First Edition. Glossy pictorial card wrappers, light wear to edges. A nice bright copy.

Inscribed by Heaney on title page: “Of course, the poet makes a book… The painter is content to look/And so, dear Shelagh, reparation/For this wordy publication/Will be required some day, no doubt. Meanwhile in doggerel, I shout/Poets and writers rule ok.” Three cheers for Cheltenham. Hooray!. Seamus, 13 October 1988.”

Exhibition catalogue with a two page Introduction by Seamus Heaney, who also comments on the thirty-seven exhibits he selects from the Ulster Museum’s holdings for this exhibition. Numerous black and white reproductions.
