DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Most of his verse is tinged with sadness--as in most Irish poetry--but there is a fine imaginative quality that lifts it to a far higher plane than that of the conventional melancholy rhymer.
There are poems in this book that recall the magic of Rossetti....
Victor Daley has left his mark in the beginnings of an Australian literature."
