The publication of Francis Harvey's Collected Poems in 2007 was a major event in the Irish poetry calendar, bringing together work from all of the much-loved and lauded poet's earlier collections, together with a generous selection of new poems that showed him to be as attentive as ever both to philosophical subtleties and to the wonders of the natural world so much in evidence in his work.
In the landscape of Irish poetry, Harvey was, in the words of poet Moya Cannon who contributes a short Introduction to the present volume, a Basho-like figure, guided by an unwavering sense of true north, always moving to the washed light on higher ground.
His is an inhabited dinnseanchas, a topography of the spirit... peeling away the expected as the wind does, down to bare, acknowledged truth. -Macdara Woods, Poetry Ireland Review
Above all there is the sense that the poet is content to explore his own world in all its limitation and potential. -Brendan Kennelly
