Eye of the Hare by John F Deane

Eye of the Hare by John F Deane

"Eye of the Hare" affirms a spirituality for healing a shattered world. In a richly textured collection, layered with Biblical echoes and the music of "The Psalms", John F. Deane explores the possibilities of poetry to redress the failures of care towards the planet and the needs of society. Deane revives the language of sacrament and celebration with raw and tender grace; in sonnets, narratives and lyrics Eye of the Hare advances towards redemption. In the book's final section. Deane honours the places and landscapes of Achill, that beautiful, demanding island off the west coast of Ireland.

John D. Deane was born on Achill island on the west coast of Ireland in 1943. He is the founder of Poetry Ireland - the National Poetry Society - and The Dedalus Press. He is the author of many collections of poetry and some fiction. His work has been translated and published in more than ten countries. He is the recipient of the O'Shaughnessy Award for Irish Poetry and the Premio Internazionale di Poesia Citta de Marineo. In 2007 Deane was made Chevalier en l'order des arts et des lettres by the French government.
