Hymn to the Reckless is the debut collection of Erin Fornoff, a native of the Appalachian Mountains resident in Dublin and a central figure in Ireland’s live poetry scene. Fornoff's reputation as one of the freshest, most invigorating on that scene is easily appreciated from this selection, but the assurance and maturity of her work -- narrative or lyrical -- is as stiking on the page as on the stage.
