'Anybody with an interest in poetry should be reading Leontia Flynn. Those with no interest should be reading her too: she has what it takes to overcome resistance. All mothers - especially new mothers - should read her... Her thinking is complicated but never arrogantly inaccessible. I was bowled over'
- Observer
'The real thing'
- Michael Longley, author of The Slain Birds
'One of the most original and accomplished poets of her generation'
- Guardian
'Surefooted and unsettling, Leontia Flynn's poems negotiate the cracks that lie below the surfaces of things. Reading them, we see the world differently'
- Ciaran Carson, author of Belfast Confetti
'One of the most strikingly original and exciting poetic voices to have emerged from Northern Ireland since the extraordinary debut by Muldoon thirty-five years ago... She doesn't put a foot wrong on the page'
- Fran Brearton
'A poet who is not only one of the best writers of her generation but who seems, more and more, to be the voice of that generation'
- John McAuliffe, author of The Kabuyl Olympics
