Praise for No Work Finished Here: Rewriting Andy Warhol:

“Liz Worth’s collection of poems is a testament to both her artistry and daily discipline. In an age of diminished attention, her perseverance in daily poem—making by mining the same source over and over reminds us that artists can be a model of life without distraction-how to go deeper and deeper until you find yourself looking back at you.” —Heath Allen, composer of Andy, A popera

“What if you tore apart the city’s tenderloin; if you seized its ephemera and — before burning all the sweet voodoo — collected the best, and most brilliant cuts?  This is Liz Worth’s stylish master-nightmare, No Work Finished Here. This is ‘the start of something true.'”—Lynn Crosbie, author of Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Praise for Liz Worth’s PostApoc:

“Whether it be poetry, performance art, or prose, Liz Worth has the uncanny ability to turn the grotesque and profane into something sublime and sensual. With PostApoc, she has taken this to a higher level by solidifying her unique voice and bringing rock ‘n’ roll to its logical dystopian conclusion.” —Brandon Pitts, author, playwright, and poet

“The end of the world is not a new idea. Liz Worth writes as if it were. You come away gasping. Begging for hope. Begging for happiness. Begging for the sanctuary of the unreal. PostApoc makes Cormac’s The Road seem paved with yellow brick. You’ll need more air after reading this.” —Bob Bryden, singer-songwriter, founding member of Christmas, Reign Ghost, Benzene Jag, and Age of Mirrors

Reviews:

“Liz Worth has created an epic, that even removed from the context of rewriting Andy Warhol’s A, a novel, stands on its own as a collection that expertly portrays all of our fears and worries and struggles public and not-so-public in these concise, gut-punchingly beautiful little portraits in time.” —William Kemp, (parenthetical)

“Saying wow isn’t saying enough… No Work Finished Here gains immediate entry into that lovely pantheon of absolutely essential Canadian poetry classics.” —Michael Dennis, Today’s Book of Poetry

“Warhol would be the first to say, in his wrinkly voice, how excited he was that Liz Worth had done this to his novel. He might have even said something clever like, “It should have just been poetry all along.” —Nathaniel G. Moore, subTerrain Magazine

“I also much admired the ambitious starting point of Liz Worth’s poetry collection No Work Finished Here. Worth remixes the text of Andy Warhol’s A, a Novel into a series of poems. ” —Anakana Schofield selects No Work Finished Here as a favourite book of 2015 for CBC Books
