In setting the poets side by side, this volume also highlights the
two main faith traditions of the West: Deane with his Roman
Catholic background, rooted in the landscape of Mayo; and Harpur
with his Protestant (Church of Ireland and Quaker) heritage,
influenced by myth, medieval history and mystics. Their two
approaches to everyday life and ultimate reality - including
nature, saints and mystics, music, art, prayer, and issues of faith
and doubt - combine to make a single volume full of lyrical beauty
and powerful witness. In addition, an afterword consisting of an
informal dialogue between the two poets complements in prose the
themes their poems explore. This is a book to challenge, console,
delight and make its readers think again about their own journeys
through this "vale of soul-making".
