Flying Fish: Poems

Employing a variety of landscapes and characters, Antony Dunn’s second collection of poetry describes the identity of things caught out of their own element. From flying fish and a prehistoric monster discovered on a market stall to a budgerigar-fancier mysteriously falling off a ladder and an obsessive goldfish collector, these poems are filled with characters and creatures who actually discover more about their existence outside of their familiar realms. This work addresses the eternal themes of love, loss, the fear of aging, and afterlife by questioning the legitimacy of boundaries.

Antony Dunn is author of Poems and Navigators for which he received an Eric Gregory Award in 2000. He currently works as a marketing manager for Riding Lights Theater Company and Friargate Theater. He lives in York, England.
