'Wheel House' seems to depict a scene or place described as a "wheel house," which is more akin to a shed filled with various types and sizes of wheels. The wheels appear to be neglected and earthbound, some leaning against the walls. The machinery that once used these wheels is no longer there, leaving only the skeletal remains of the original vision and craftsmanship. The poem conveys a sense of nostalgia and simplicity. Despite the mastery being lost, there is a certain charm in the wooden structure, which sparks the imagination and invokes a sense of playfulness. The "rollicking chuckwagon imagination" suggests a lively and vivid mental landscape associated with this place. Wheel House More of a shed, really. This wheel house, this army of spokes across each wall. All shapesand sizes. A few of the latest offerings foreverearthbound and on neglected half-lean. The machinery long gone, so that only theskeleton remains. That original vison. The craftsmanship. With mastery over nothing, including the Self, there is a simple wooden charmsnaking through the mustiness, coiling ever-tighteraround your rollicking chuckwagon imagination. And the deafening quiet, never forget that Naked toesover dirt floors, playful drag marks of theeternal straggler.

This poetry collection leaves no doubt that the poet is able to reveal rhythmic creation of impressive beauty in words. The impression stays with us that these poems of feeling and vision will attract all readers. In places the poet displays the sublime beauty of intense imagination.

Ryan Quinn Flanagan's MINOTAUR SNOW is an urban menagerie of very human poems. Difficult situations, individual foibles, that unescapable rush of the modern city; the sights and sounds and smells and touch, all told with great humour and at times, compassion. Flanagan peoples the landscape in such a way that his experiences become your experiences, his revelations and perspectives a busy populous of comings and goings all captured in a language that is both highly accessible and littered with odd notions or turns of phrase. MINOTAUR SNOW above all else is a book that captures what is timeless to our shared experience, but with a fierce individuality that washes over everything like a heavy falling snow. Poetry.

This collection of poems from Ryan Quinn Flanagan settles itself down in front of the fire with a bottle of fortified wine and some thick socks, ready for the snow to keep on coming. Crass and subtle, full of kindness and bile and the kind of dissatisfaction that only makes sense, these poems will help you snuggle, and that is a promise.
