Collected Poems is a spoken-word recording of the Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney reading his own work.

It was released by RTÉ to mark his 70th birthday,[1][2] which occurred on 13 April 2009.

[3] The fifteen-CD boxed set[4] spans 556 tracks in over twelve hours of oral performance by the poet (some poems span multiple tracks).

The entire work was also released on one disc in MP3 format.

All of Heaney's poetry collections are performed except his final one, Human Chain, which was published in the following year.

The poems are presented in the chronological order of Heaney's first eleven poetry collections.

[note 1] A 58-page essay about Heaney by Irish poet Peter Sirr is included in a booklet.
