Death of a Naturalist
Seamus Heaney · Faber and Faber (London) · 1966
The Faber UK edition is the true first. The US Oxford University Press edition (also 1966) was made up of the UK sheets with a new American title page, in roughly one thousand copies, so it follows the Faber printing rather than competing with it. Brandes and Durkan is the standard bibliographic authority (A2a).
