Heaney, Seamus ~ Broadsheet ‘Had I Not Been Awake’ : Signed By Seamus Heaney
Bow & Arrow Press, Harvard University : 2013
Printed on the occasion of the author’s reading for the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library Reading Series, Emory University, 2 March 2013. This Broadsheet is number '19' of only 250 issued. It does not state that this was signed on issue but this broadsheet has been signed (without dedication) by Seamus Heaney in pencil below the poem. From what I have been able to research to date, it seems highly likely that Seamus Heaney actually signed less that 30 copies of this broadsheet (numbers higher than this that have appeared to date in e- commerce, have been unsigned). A 4 verse poem. The Broadsheet measures 57 x 19cm and is in near Fine condition, printed on handmade paper by the Bow and Arrow Press. The broadsheet is not creased or folded. A handsome production with a blue graphic design utilising the last 4 words of the poem. Very scarce to find signed by the Nobel Laureate with no copies having appeared at auction.
