Description

John F. Deane is a vital presence in contemporary Irish poetry.

The poems in this new collection combine lyric grace with a fiercely questing intelligence, pushing against the mysteries of faith in a fractured world, paying tribute to the value of human life and love.

Running through the book is a thread of elegy for the poet's brother, who died of cancer in 2010.

The collection concludes with a sequence describing a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Throughout, Deane gives poetic voice to the paradox of human existence as simultaneously 'blessed and broken'.
