“Ryan Flaherty delivers a magnificent, controlled rawness in What’s This, Bombardier? Full-hearted and intellectually dexterous, it is an elegant scaffold constructed around the chaos of existential uncertainty. Flaherty is a gifted poet—his voice is panoramic and impeccably focused. What’s This, Bombardier? is an outstanding book.”
—Alex Lemon

“While I read Ryan Flaherty’s What’s This, Bombardier? I kept hearing, as if in the back of my head, a sentence from one of his more unexpected poetic ancestors, Emily Dickinson: ‘Strange that the most intangible thing should be the most adhesive.’ Beneath the wit of these poems— and wit there is in dizzying plenty—there are sobering concerns, skeptical and philosophical quandaries.
—Dan Beachy-Quick

Flaherty’s first book is charming, scintillating, challenging, and fun.”
—Alan Michael Parker
