LEONTIA
FLYNN LAUNCH OF ‘THESE DAYS’
THURSDAY MAY 6
WHITE’S TAVERN 7.00PM
These Days represents one of the most strikingly original
debuts in recent years. A Gregory Award winner, Leontia Flynn
writes about Belfast and the north of Ireland with a precision
and tenderness that is completely fresh.
With a subject matter ranging from memories of childhood to
the instabilities of adulthood, from the raw domestic to the
restless pull of ‘elsewhere’, her theme throughout
is a search for physical and mental well-being, for a way
to live a life.
A collection of poems that are accessible but not obvious,
witty and serious, delicate but tough, and always surprising.
These Days is not simply a first book of great promise; it
marks the arrival of a new, exciting and important voice.
"Leontia Flynn disentangles complicated feelings with
extraordinary elan and maturity. She has a natural’s
feel for cadence and melody, Leontia Flynn looks like the
real thing." MICHAEL LONGLEY
" A delightfully impressive debut" LAVINIA GREENLAW
"Smart as a whip, lyrical, always on point, Leontia Flynn’s
poems are the real, right thing" TOM PAULIN
