There
are still many very good poets writing today. One of my favourites is
the Irishman John F. Deane, who is greatly influenced by Kathleen Raine
herself, and by Gerard Manley Hopkins, Ted Hughes, the Romantics, and
many more besides. I would highly recommend this beautiful collection
inspired by his island of birth, off the coast of Ireland. It contains
twenty-five remarkable poems, illustrated by John Behan.
I was recently asked to contribute a review of it to the journal the Temenos Academy Review, issue no.22, which has just been published. Here is a link to the piece, in pdf format. I hope it will make you want to read him!
