About Swing in the Hollow

Poetry. SWING IN THE HOLLOW is a debut collection that struggles with the service and spoil of lyrical attention. In quirky and precise turns, Knighton's language teases a sense of phenomena from the rubbish and rubble of atrophied urban experience. ...meditative and immediate ... hewn deftly out of pop culture ... imploded epic and a localism played closer than white on rice.--Wayde Compton At once attentive and receptive to the kitsch and debris of branded recognitions and cartoon iconographies--the geography of Vancouver days--Ryan's poem traces a bright path through pandemonium, a place where 'beauty seems sometimes best served blindly.'--Sharon Thesen It is wonderfully subtle and witty, with the title setting a tone for the poems to follow. --Winnipeg Free Press
