Death of a Naturalist (1966) is Heaney's earliest trade volume which characteristically incorporates vivid memories of his childhood in Northern Ireland. As with his later works, nature plays a dominant role within this work. Heaney announces in the first poem of the collection that he will figuratively "dig" with his poem, echoing the nurturing practice of his farming ancestors and their own connection with the land.
