In this thoughtful and carefully argued book, John Desmond uncovers Christian and transcendent elements in Seamus Heaneyas poetry by reading it through the intellectual perspectives of the well-known poet Czeslaw Milosz and the French philosopher Simone Weil. Weil was a powerful influence on Miloszas thought and writing, Milosz, in turn, exercised considerable influence on Heaneyas thought and poetry. Desmond utilizes these connections in order to show the way Weilas thought about Christianity and transcendence illuminates Heaneyas complex relationship with Christianity. Desmondas sensitive readings of Heaneyas poems through this new lens reveal previously unexplored depths in the work of the Nobel Prize-winning poet.
