The End of the World (Dedalus Press, 2019)
Fascinated by the empirical evidence, Patrick Deeley displays a questing, questioning spirit before nature and the universe with a natural sense of awe before the mysteries.
Groundswell: New and Selected Poems (Dedalus Press, 2013)
His poems are love songs to the most cherishable components of Ireland’s rural nature, absent of rancour and full, dare one utter it, of true love. Deeley remains true to his own nature, which is the engine of his poetry.
The Bones of Creation (Dedalus Press, 2008)
Though a number of Irish poets have written about the great changes in Ireland during the last ten to fifteen years, none have done it as beautifully, as potently as Deeley...
Deeley has at a deep level, a bone level, made sense of Ireland’s extreme make-over.
Decoding Samara (Dedalus Press, 2000)
Deeley restores a degree of the mystery that inheres in the natural world and the magic in the sounds of words.

Turane: The Hidden Village (Dedalus Press, 1995)
Only a poet cradled in the idiom and experience of a place and period could write a book as authentic and compassionate as Turane. Adroit service is rendered to nature, community and the imagination, by these compelling poems.

Names for Love (Dedalus Press, 1990)
Patrick Deeley is a craftsman in the old sense, a kind of poetic stone-cutter. This is related, I think, to the fact that his poems are rooted in particulars, in things… they have a sense of tangible presence, and you almost want to reach out and touch them.
All this is not to say that in terms of theme, Deeley is an atavist or traditionalist. He is rather a mildly primordial presence, at ease in the modern transformations of his themes, secure in his sense of continuity between past and present

Intimate Strangers (Dedalus Press, 1986)
Some of Deeley’s best poems are set in the city, and at their heart is a mixture of love and unease.
