By (author): Ryan Knighton

‘Swing In the Hollow’ is a debut collection that struggles with the service and spoil of lyrical attention. In quirky and precise turns, Knighton’s language teases a sense of phenomena from the rubbish and rubble of atrophied urban experience.

“It is wonderfully subtle and witty, with the title setting a tone for the poems to follow.” – Winnipeg Free Press
