《开垦地：诗选1966—1996》是诺贝尔文学奖得主希尼的自选集，精选了12部诗集的代表作品、两部重要译作的精华部分以及一些以前未结集的作品。这些作品涵盖了诗人30年写作生涯，呈现了诗人写作的整体风貌以及诗人多年来情感、风格和特色的变化。这里有优美的、田园式的抒情诗，也 有许多蕴含普通却又神奇的爱的诗篇，还有一些发掘自身、自我投射的作品。它们也探索恐惧和暴力的主题，揭示一个“邻里相杀”的爱尔兰，一个受历史和残酷的宗派主义威胁的世界。这些作品充分体现了希尼所遵奉的诗歌定义，既“忠实于外部现实的冲击”，又保持着“对诗人生命内部规律的敏感”，在希尼手中，万物的样貌都发生了根本变化，一个拼字板，一个秋千，一个风筝，无数小小的瞬间，都变成了既是现实又是飞升的令人沉醉的神话。这部自选集是一种必需——一种深入万物根源的方法。
