Dream Catcher Books publishes major new collection from Tony Flynn.
Tony Flynn first came to prominence with the publication in 1982 of A Rumoured City: New Poets from Hull. Individual collections followed, including Body Politic and A Strange Routine, which established him as a major talent. The publication of The Mermaid Chair: New and Selected Poems reinforces this reputation and offers readers a retrospective insight into the work of a singularly powerful poet. Tony Flynn won the 2007 English Association Poetry Prize.
'What is poetry? Flynn's work is one place I might start my explanation.'
David Kennedy, PN Review
'Flynn has developed a poetic register that is admirable in its discipline and economy.
Nicholas Tredell, London Review of Books
'Tony Flynn possesses a rare combination of tact and directness in getting his politics into his poetry ... Flynn so consistently displays such sophistication and incisiveness while remaining infallibly accessible across a range that extends from the wittily erotic to the humanly outraged. Douglas Houston, Poetry Review
