Einstein's Brain

An extension of O'Flynn's previous work, Einstein's Brain floats somewhere between the hug and the thistle. It contains great variety in terms of subject matter, form, style, and mood. There is a typical wit and a penchant for the quirky and the absurd, as well as a willingness to play with language.

A concern with form ranges from the loosely traditional to the free-wheeling. There are also several longer poems exercising a sense of stamina across a broader canvas.

Above all, this book is about observation, about apprehending the oddity of what is right in front of our noses.
