Abstract

The article focuses on John F. Deane's poetry collection, "Selected and New Poems," which marks his first major release since 2012 and encompasses a broader range of his work, including early poems and selections from his previous collections. Deane, a prominent Irish poet known for his deep connection to nature and Catholic faith, explores themes of encounter with both the natural world and the divine, drawing inspiration from poets like Gerard Manley Hopkins. The collection reflects on contemporary issues, such as the plight of refugees, while celebrating the beauty of everyday life and the complexities of existence. Deane's work is characterized by its lyrical quality and profound engagement with both personal and universal themes. [Extracted from the article]
