BETWEEN HERE AND HOME stitches together a narrative in soliloquies of a rural town struggling to hold onto community despite tragedy. Laurie Kutchins, author of The Night Path & Slope of the Child Everlasting, BOA Editions Ltd., said, "It’s a delight to see, hear and sense all the genres come together so seamlessly in Matt Daly’s first book of poems. BETWEEN HERE AND HOME has the fascinating plot and pacing of a novel, the compressed narrative energy of flash fiction, the essayistic themes of nonfiction, and the lyric, nuanced integrity of poetry. Daly has built a world here, and in doing so creates home and homage to a real but unnamed western place with its highway, river, KOA, homesteads, bar stools, its local characters and animals that both inhabit and haunt this place. It’s a compelling read whether from front to back as in fiction, or opening to any page as in poetry."
