Seamus Heaney was recorded reading this collection on the Seamus Heaney Collected Poems album. The title of the collection, Station Island , is taken from the long poem of the same name that comprises the second part of the collection.
Heaney originally wanted to name the work “Polder.” His editor, Charles Monteith, insisted that Heaney change the title because readers may not be able to pronounce the word. Heaney then wanted the title “Easter Water,” but this name was also discarded in favor of the final name: Field Work.
