The book give-away will comprise 40,000 copies of each of the 25 carefully selected titles, to be given away by 20,000 ‘givers’, who will each distribute 48 copies of their chosen title to whomever they choose on World Book Night.
As part of World Book Night, The Wellbeing Project will be giving away the following title:
New Selected Poems by Seamus Heane
This volume contains a selection of work from each of Seamus Heaney’s published books of poetry up to and including the Whitbread prize-winning collection, The Haw Lantern (1987).
Reviews
‘His is “close-up” poetry – close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does.’ – John Banville
‘More than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of.’ – John Carey
To find out how you can get your hands on a copy of New Selected Poems by Seamus Heane please contact the Wellbeing Project T: 01744 26444.
