The publication of Francis Harvey’s Collected Poems is a major event in the Irish poetry calendar, gathering work from all of his earlier collections together with more than 100 new poems which show him to be as attentive as ever both to philosophical subtleties and to the wonders of the natural world. Praised by Brendan Kennelly for his "quiet, unruffled integrity," according to Moya Cannon in her Introduction, in the context of Irish poetry Francis Harvey is "a Basho-like figure, guided by an unwavering sense of true north, always moving to the washed light on higher ground."
