A chapbook of his own poems, The Whale in the Web, was also published by Copper Canyon Press. O’Daly was a finalist for the 2006 Quill Award in Poetry and was profiled on NBC’s The Today Show. A National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, his poems, translations, essays, and reviews have appeared widely in journals and anthologies.

He has received national and regional honors for literary editing and instructional design. To learn more, please visit him at WilliamODaly.com.

This small book of five poems in homage to Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, accompanied by stunning photographs by the fine artist, Galen Garwood, was the main subject of my previous email.  So I’ll pretty much leave it right there, except, oh wait, to say that you can purchase a copy at the reading, on Amazon.com, or straight-ahead from Folded Word:
