Here Away by Tom Dilworth

Praise for Here Away:

“Finally, a party you can attend without having to go to it. Here Away gives you the prismatic eye of a fly on the wall. A fly who rides a boom through the room, picking up every exchange, every bon mot and not so bon mot, every unvoiced if-you-can’t-say-something-nice, every lexical frisson, every Jubjub and futtock. While we’re busy trying to find the words, language delivers more than we dreamed.” —Susan Holbrook, author of Joy is So Exhausting

Reviews:

“Each poem follows a similar style of short, choppy quotes and riffs interspersed with ironic observations. Many of the entries are structured as too-good-to-be-true clips from conversations, the best jokes from a conversation kind of thing.” —Gregory Betts for Journal of Canadian Poetry
