PÁDRAIG J. DALY was born in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford in 1943 and is now working as an Augustinian priest in Dublin. He has published several collections of poetry, among them The Last Dreamers: New & Selected Poems (1999) and The Other Sea (2003), as well as his translations from the Italian of Edoardo Sanguineti, Libretto (1999) and Paolo Ruffilli, Joy and Mourning (reissued 2007). His latest collection of poems is Clinging to the Myth (2007) in which he refelects on grief and personal bereavement and uses the voices of 18th century Gaelic poetry to respond to the challenges of a post-Christian Ireland.
"Daly comments on life as if he was a mystic who had just come through the gates of the City" - Thomas McCarthy
"His voice is a quiet yet provocative one, calling us to have the courage to rediscover the very roots of what it is to be human" - The Merton Journal

DALY, Pádraig J.
The Other Sea
2003
'Many of the strongest poems in the collection are the poems of place, which Daly offers as a celebration of the beauty of the Irish landscape, and they immediately suggest an affinity between Daly's work and the similar inscription of nature and place in the poetry of, say, Seamus Heaney or John Montague... Certainly the majority of these poems are either explicitly religious or have a religious subtext... but those who read these strong offerings will be drawn by their nuance and by the variety of personal, historical and political events that Daly brings into his poetic ambit.'
