Superb
Flynn is quite simply one the best there is. Today, her debut is just as immediate, compelling and complex as the day it was published. We’re very lucky to be able to look forward to seeing new collections by Leontia Flynn: she’s a poet at the peak of her powers who gives no sign of going anywhere.
