Poems and translations from two decades of writing, exploring in restless, evolving forms, the experiment of being alive in a changing and turbulent world.
Leontia Flynn has published five full-length poetry collections and been recognised as a leading voice in contemporary poetry, in the North of Ireland and beyond. Her first collection These Days (2004) won an Eric Gregory award in manuscript, the Forward prize for best First Collection, and was shortlisted for the Whitbread (Costa) Poetry Prize. The same year Leontia Flynn was named one of twenty 'Next Generation' poets by the Poetry Book Society in association with The Guardian. She has since won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Irish Times poetry prize, a Cholmondeley Award, and twice been nominated for the T S Eliot Prize. She has also published works of criticism and several poetry pamphlets, and was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2022. She lives in Belfast and is a professor at Queen's University Belfast.
