description: Elena Karina Byrne's poetry is found in earnest and in exaltation, in her love for language and its lushness. Each poem in her debut collection, The Flammable Bird , is an occasion for wonder, pathos and human intensity, and these observations, collectively, offer an opulent and florid document of our modernity. These poems are rich, and revel in the risks they take with metaphor and image. The beauty created is dazzling.
