Jimmy Cummins - Flight Unit
'Flight Unit is a book which follows a trajectory that is both, at times, chronological and thematic. It is a selection of poems, spanning 20 years, filled with people and places. Within these poems, the lyric moment is constantly shifting and being shattered. The ‘I’ is never absolute and lacks confidence but wants to be in the world. I do not want to say much more out of embarrassment. The poems are what they are.'
