These are poems about inner spaces and moods and irritants, as well as people I've met, and people I love, and places I've visited and lived in, ranging from Virginia to Romania to Pittsburgh, PA, home of Iron City beer.
John Michael Flynn also writes novels as Basil Rosa. He's published three collections of short stories, one with Publerati, and another with Fomite, and a book of essays with New Meridian Arts. He's taught at schools, colleges and university in the United States, Moldova, Turkey and Russia. To quote the poet Forrest Gander, "his poems are not absurdly modern but take the risk of articulating a serious moral gaze."
