Flirting with Tigers
Deceptively light-footed, delivered with humour and a sometimes feisty independence of spirit, the poems in Amy Abdullah Barry’s debut collection are prompted by wonder and appreciation. If travel is an essential ingredient for this Irish-based Malaysian-born poet, what unites these wide- and far-ranging poems are the glimpses of the poet’s origin story, the personalities and relationships of an extended family life that continues to be the measure for subsequent experiences.
