<div><b>Winner of a "Discovery"/<i>The Nation</i> Award</b><br><b>Winner of the 1999 PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry</b><br><br><i>Some Ether</i> is one of the more remarkable debut collections of poetry to appear in America in recent memory. As Mark Doty has noted, "these poems are more than testimony; in lyrics of ringing clarity and strange precision, Flynn conjures a will to survive, the buoyant motion toward love which is sometimes all that saves us. <i>Some Ether</i> resonates in the imagination long after the final poem; this is a startling, moving debut."<br></div>
