A year after Sean's death Time and the Island his last book of poetry was published. Reviewing it in the Irish Times of March 9th 1996 Gerald Dawe wrote; "It is impossible to read these poems be Sean Dunne without pity and anger at his death...In the final ten years of his life, Sean Dunne's work as a poet was developing from strength to strength as he shed unnecessary defences and mannerisms to become one of the country's finest poets".
