This collection of poems from Ryan Quinn Flanagan settles itself down in front of the fire with a bottle of fortified wine and some thick socks, ready for the snow to keep on coming. Crass and subtle, full of kindness and bile and the kind of dissatisfaction that only makes sense, these poems will help you snuggle, and that is a promise.
This poetry collection leaves no doubt that the poet is able to reveal rhythmic creation of impressive beauty in words. The impression stays with us that these poems of feeling and vision will attract all readers. In places the poet displays the sublime beauty of intense imagination.
