Leontia Flynn |
Leontia Flynn was born in Belfast in 1974, where she has just finished a PhD at Queen’s University. She was awarded an Eric Gregory Award in 2001 and was chosen as one of twenty Next Generation Poets in June 2004, plus won the 2004 Forward Prize for Poetry for best first collection.

In one of the most strikingly original debuts in recent years, Leontia Flynn writes about Belfast and the north of Ireland with a precision and tenderness that is completely fresh. While her subject matter ranges 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.
