Poetry review: Exploration of life’s longings and discovery

Leontia Flynn's 'Taking Liberties' is a rewarding collection, filled with poems that offer quiet wisdom, beautiful imagery and arresting conclusions

A sense of longing permeates Leontia Flynn's collection with the speaker frequently alone in a room, contemplating the outside world, her place in it.
