Seamus Heaney's poetry collection, The Spirit Level, continually explores the possibilities of a "new beginning" in all kinds of subjects and situations. At stake, poem by poem, is the opportunity for balance and stability, physical, spiritual, and political. Private memories, classic scenes, and humble household items - a whitewash brush, a sofa, a cradle - gain titanic significance, while friends and relatives are invited to share their promise and dedication. Throughout the collection, Heaney touches on his concerns, which inevitably include the political situation in his homeland, Northern Ireland, in poetry that continually maintains fluidity, alertness, and absolute truth.
