The collection begins with one of Heaney's best-known poems, "Digging", and includes the acclaimed "Death of a Naturalist" and "Mid-Term Break". "Personal Helicon" is the final poem in Heaney's first collection. Fellow poets Michael Longley and Brendan Kennelly also praised Heaney's work. Critics generally remarked on Heaney's skillful use of metaphor and language as well as his attention to detail and rural imagery.[3] Some reviewers found the volume a bit superfluous, John Unterecker of The New York Times Book Review stated that he found some poems possessed "a wit that is sometimes heavy-handed".[4] The Poetry of Seamus Heaney: a Critical Study.
