Ernesta in the Style of the Flamenco is a vibrant, rhythm driven narrative that channels the intensity of flamenco itself—its passion, its defiance, its insistence on living fully in each moment. McIntosh’s storytelling here is musical, bold, and emotionally charged, giving readers a character and a world that feel as alive as performance.
“In Ernesta, when McIntosh’s title character declares: ‘Music has pictures,’ it instantly suggests this poet’s astounding use of language that creates visual landscapes of great clarity. I’ve been an enthusiastic fan of previous books and recommend you get your hands on as many as you can. This may be the biased sentiment of a devoted fan, but Sandy: You rock!”
–Phoebe Snow“Ernesta, in the Style of the Flamenco, Sandy McIntosh’s latest volume, bursts with brilliance and sizzles with sass. McIntosh’s new poems are audacious, ravishing, syntactic marvels, clowning-around oddballs. The energy and wit in this book will make you want to whip out your fan, put on your non-skid sole shoes, and dance.”
–Denise Duhamel
