The praise has been rolling in for Liam Day’s debut poetry collection, Afforded Permanence. Most recently, from Mary Pinard, author of Portal:
“Liam Day’s very fine first collection, Afforded Permanence, traces select bus routes (roots) in and around Boston in poems that tell stories, evoke memories, and capture histories of the heart and mind. His speaker throughout is streetwise and tuned to the rhythms of the city, its various environs, and beyond: this is someone you want to know, both for his sense of direction and for his ways with words. These are beautifully crafted poems—formally accomplished and lyrical, with details that chart the pleasures and complexities of urban life. This is the best, most necessary kind of map.”
We couldn’t agree more.
We’ve also made a snazzy new cover for the book, which includes kind words from Simeon Berry. Check it out below, then go see all the other details for Liam’s book, and keep your eyes on this space for the presale, kicking off next week!
