Victor Daley was an Irish-Australian poet regarded as an exemplar of the Celtic Twilight in Australia. Born in County Armagh, Ireand, Daley emigrated to Australia in 1878. He became a writer for several periodicals in New South Wales and Victoria. He published a number of poems in the Bulletin; most of his poetry was published in the Bulletin and similar periodicals including Punch and Freeman’s Journal. His first book of verse At Dawn and Dusk came in 1898. Two of his other books, Poems (1908) and Wine and Roses (1911), were published posthumously.
As well as lyric poetry, Daley wrote satirical socio-political verse, mostly written under the pseudonym ‘Creeve Row’. A collection of this was published posthumously in 1947.
Victor Daley died of tuberculosis in 1905.
