Back cover blurb
‘Before he was known to readers as a world class fictionist, Philip Casey gave us poems. On the evidence of Dialogue in Fading Light, he remains always and ever a poet of great powers. The wonder and longing, gratitude and grace that inform this work make us grateful for Casey’s many gifts.’ Thomas Lynch
In his first collection in almost fifteen years, Philip Casey blends re-worked older poems with new reflections on love, death and the times we live in, ranging in tone from the light-hearted to the contemplative.

‘…he has a poet’s delicate ear and a playwright’s eye for direction’ Erica Wagner, The Times
‘Casey writes in a language which is supple, accurate, sensitive and immensely strong’ Ros Cowman, GRAPH
