The Spirit Level was the first book of poems Heaney published after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. Reviewing this book in The New York Times Book Review, Richard Tillinghast noted that Heaney "has been and is here for good . . . His poems] will last. Anyone who reads poetry has reason to rejoice at living in the age when Seamus Heaney is writing."
