Crediting Poetry. True first edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the poet on the title page, "To Andy - a credit himself - Seamus Heaney, December 30th 1995". This edition was published just five days after Heaney's Nobel lecture, which the poet delivered on 7 December 1995. The recipient was a long-standing personal friend of the Heaney family who received other inscribed copies, Christmas cards, and letters from at least 1989 through to 2009.
