Like the Dewfall is a stunning new sequence of poems by John F. Deane. It is written in seven sections, following the seven compositions that comprise Olivier Messiaen’s Visions de l’Amen suite for two pianos, written during the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1943.

‘Deane's masterpiece offers a richly beautiful integration of biography and the numinous, the natural world and prayer in the great tradition of spiritual exercises.’ - Fiona Sampson

John F. Deane is the author of more than a dozen poetry collections, including Dear Pilgrims, Semibreve and Manhandling the Deity (all on Carcanet), as well as two novels and the poetic faith-memoir Give Dust a Tongue. He is the founder of Poetry Ireland, the Poetry Ireland Review, and of Dedalus Press.

Like the Dewfall is a casebound (hardback) limited edition with artwork by Tony Martin.
