 Matt's first book-length collection is now available from Unsolicited Press

"Between Here and Home is a resounding American song that makes pure music from the dark notes of kept secrets and the clashing chords of human love. Matt Daly is a maestro of the natural world, a heart-rending lyricist of beauty and belief. These poems take my breath away."
Alyson Hagy, alysonhagy.com, author of Scribe. "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." Laurie Kutchins, author of The Night Path & Slope of the Child Everlasting |
