As we might expect from as strong a poet, Dawe is an exegete of great acuity. He teases out the surprising subtleties of Rubber Soul with - somehow - both the sobriety of the critic-scholar and the enthusiasm of adolescence. His prose, moreover, is distinctly poetic in its attention to particularity. * Totally Dublin * 'I adored Looking Through You. I read it in a single day and re-read it again today. It was atmospheric, evocative, moving and contained important challenges to stereotypes...I wanted to cheer when [Dawe] confronted that awful, deliberately constructed cliche about Northern Protestants either lacking culture or having a culture inferior to their Catholic fellow citizens.' -- Henry McDonald
