Gerald Dawe has been a constantly alert and probing presence within Irish poetry, both as the author of seven volumes of lyrically taut and yet wonderfully expansive verse and also as an astute literary critic with his antenna tuned into the exactitudes of local experience and their universal counterpoints.

"I read The Proper Word with admiration and respect - an unfakeable concern, a Clark Kent vision/inspection of the (con) fusion of word and world. It is fine and faithful to standards, to the extra-otherness of poetry; and wonderfully alert to and analytical of Ireland as she has been conducted/conducting herself for the past 30 or 40 years." Seamus Heaney
