description: Winner of the 2003 Dorset Prize, selected by Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Dunn. These poems, set within a sturdy midwestern landscape, are about loyalty and abandonment, disappointment and joy. They leap and startle and switch back, always returning with a clear-eyed desire for redemption in all its passion, solace and forgiveness. Says Stephen Dunn, "" Ice, Mouth, Song has a haunting beauty to it . . . . Flynn will not pretty-up her world, nor will she be defeated by its harshness. She's written a book that makes easier the difficult task of judging contests.
