Ryan Flaherty pays particular attention to linguistic slippages and etymologies as heexamines the persistent difficulties of language and love in his latest collection, What's This, Bombardier? Alternating between self-deprecating humor and striking images, wry wordplay and a sense of awe at the beauties and absurdities of the world, these poems construct a postmodern play on the foundation of sadness, wonder, and longing. The combination is smart, fun, and ultimately heartbreaking -- an exciting, extraordinary debut.
Ryan Flaherty is the recipient of the 2010 PEN /New England Discovery Award for Poetry.He has published two chapbooks, Novas, which won the Boom Chapbook Contest, and Live, from the Delay.
