Sa leabhar seo tá cnuasaithe le chéile faoi aon chlúdach amháin den chéad uair riamh gach uile dhán a scríobh an Direánach. Tá na cnuasaigh filíochta go léir a foilsíodh lena bheatha ann: Coinnle Geala (1942), Dánta Aniar (1943), Ó Mórna agus Dánta Eile (1957), Ár Ré Dhearóil (1962), Cloch Choirnéil (1966), Crainn is Cairde (1970), Céacht an Éin (1979), Béasa an Túir (1984), Craobhóg Dán (1986), chomh maith leis na dánta a foilsíodh de chéaduair in Rogha Dánta (1949) agus in Dánta 1939–1979 (1980). Sa leabhar seo freisin tá dornán beag dánta nár foilsíodh in aon leabhar go nuige seo.
