Catherine Daly is author of two eBooks here in what will eventually be a series of four eBooks in "the kitty project."  She is author of other books of poetry in addition to these.  DaDaDa (Salt Publishing, 2003) is the beginning trilogy of a long project entited Confiteor.  Locket (Tupelo Press, 2005) is a book of love poems.  To Delite and Instruct (blue lion books, 2006) is a very long book that may spawn another very long book or two investigating pedagogy and perception.  Paper Craft (Moria, 2006) is available both in paper and as an eBook; because several of the pages are designed to be folded into meta-poems, there is a reason for wanting the text in both formats.  Chanteuse / Cantatrice (factory school, 2007) is a book that can be read backwards and forwards.  The book Vauxhall is forthcoming from Shearsman, and Heavy Rotation is immanent from BlazeVox. 

She created and taught the first online poetry workshops at UCLA Extension’s Writers’ Program in addition to critical theory, women’s studies, and literature courses at UCLA Extension, Antioch LA, West LA College, LA Southwest College, etc. and has been teaching on and off since an undergraduate teacher’s assistantship in the History of Mathematics.

She has begun to publish books as i.e. Press, starting with Maryrose Larkin's THE BOOK OF OCEAN.  Books by Ray Bianchi, Terese Bachand, and Talan Memmott are forthcoming.

For the past ten years, she has made a great deal of her creative and critical work available online.

What Others Say

Cavernous and electric, DaDaDa unfolds as a hypnotically twisted love tome investigating the r/elation between language systems and the erotics of communication. Plotting the truncated lives of letters, as mistresses, matrices, vessels, vials, viols, vile induces, indices, Catherine Daly’s passionate tripartite tour de force rages with linguistic virtuosity as a “cross-stitched sampler” of contemporary culture, “hot sync simulacra,” literary heresies.

    —Adeena Karasick

Seldom is such a commodious pathway opened with a first book. It is, as its author says, “Huge toroid / experiments.” She’s right about that; look up “toroid.”

Catherine Daly is the “epideictic girl” of her verse’s universe.

—Aldon L. Nielsen
