District and Circle (2006) is a collection of poems written by Irish Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney.
This is the most recent volume published by Heaney, forty years after his first volume Death of a Naturalist.
District and Circle are both lines on the London subway.
Many of the themes present in this volume are recurrent from other works by Heaney, especially ideas of art and art-labor, the importance of the local, and the ever-present images of violence. However, it is precisely by revisiting past themes that we begin to understand how the speaker wants to show that much is changed; not the general subject, but the specific details of how and what we are talking about.
