Winner, Best Poetry, IP Picks 2007. Australia Council Supported Title. An ambitious, assured, mature poetic voice, Mark O Flynn sifts through memories and sensations in his exploration of life s anomalies.
The title of the collection is ironic, he says. I m more interested in doubt, in what cannot be proven, in questions rather than answers, in mystery and confusion.
The poems wander between the urban and the rural, childhood and adulthood, the mundane and the bizarre, holding up shards of memory to the light for inspection.
Intelligent, searching, poignant, and frank, these poems make for compelling reading.
