Patrick Deeley's seventh collection of poems displays his deep-rooted concern for and engagement with the world around him - expressed, as ever, in muscular, musical, impassioned and persuasive verse. In The End of the World, however, the tone is more troubled, more urgent. Here, multiple visions of the uselessness / even of beauty in face of greed or misfortune add up to a quiet but powerful appeal to something in our too-often distracted better selves. Deeley reflects on today's uncertain times, the potential for calamity where barbarity shadows the loveliness always. His evocations of wet meadow, seashore, city street, desert and moorland move with wonder through the living moment, sing the desire to make life last.
