Amazon.com description: Product Description: John Matthias Southern Review, cites Hannan as "an experimental and innovative poet...a poet one should watch". She has achieved wide recognition for her work. For Roger Garfitt she was a "welcome discovery"; for Gerald Dawe, "a real find"; Alan Brownjohn thinks she is "ingenious...highly original, beautifully funny", and Peter Porter likes her "welcome sense of fantasy". Her wit is both barbed and feathered, combining astute investigation with often hilarious pleasure-taking in tightly-worked Poems which are as much teasing riddles as they are mental dances.
