“What a pleasure it is in an era of one unclad emperor after another of the postmodern academy’s evasions and obliquities, to come on a young writer who adresses things that actually matter in a book of poems! John Michael Flynn speaks of real and recognizable characters in real and recognizable locales; their dreams and their anxieties are — to use a word now sniffed at by the tenure hounds — universal in their relevance. I recommend his work to all readers, not just so-called specialists in poetry.”
~Sydney Lea, poet and novelist

“John Flynn’s poems show originality and his own imagery. They are good and deserve to be read.”
~Leo Connellan, former Poet Laureate of Connecticut

“Flynn’s prose is stunningly vivid, evoking a powerful sense of place, character, and event.”
~Jack Smith, author of the novel, Hog To Hog
