Lyn Coffin Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

"In 'Artwork on the Backs of Gargoyles, ' Lyn Coffin, poet, novelist and translator, proves herself a master of the poetic forms, the villanelle, the sestina, and the paradelle, in which she casts both an empathic and a sardonic eye on the internal lives of damaged, cruel, tender, passionate, dispassionate, and above all, haunting men, women and children." -Joanne Ward

The poetry collection features verses from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The poems first circulated in samizdat in 1973. Throughout the 1970s, the collection was published several times abroad, with its first appearance in the Czech Republic occurring in 1981.
