John F. Deane selects a representative core of his work. He emerges as a poet for whom the old verities retain some of their truth and the accelerating fin-de-siecle is not an unmitigated good.

The Works of Love is a study of poetry in the context of religious faith. The essays are short and focus on major poets including George Herbert, John Clare, Patrick Kavanagh and contemporary Irish poet Padraig J. Daly. The book looks at the poetry from a holistic perspective, exploring how these poets relate to Christ and Incarnation and hence to the physical universe, particularly through the lens of ecology, the Eucharist, and personal expe...

Religion, personal experiences of faith, and parallels between artistic and godly creation are explored in this collection of emotionally raw poems that focus on the suffering and love required by the God of the Old Testament and the poet's own struggle with religious endeavors. The lives, works, personal sacrifices, and inspirations of Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, and others are also discussed.

These are poems that explore the parameters of a contemporary Christian sensibility in an attempt--through the reclamation of the language of sacrament and celebration--to re-invent a meaningful approach to contemporary problems. Moving from sonnet and stories through Biblical echoes, to the music of psalms, this compilation examines the failures of care towards the earth and society, and offers Christian spirituality as a form of solace.
