Daley suspends judgment and tends to her characters, to her images, and to the moments within her poems, with generous mother-hearted excess. And it makes for glorious listening.

–Boston, MA

Katie performs “A Clevelander in Paradise,” “Brigid Mulrooney at 15,” and “Mensch’s Polanaise”

Katie Daley will rock the house with heart and fire, righteous indignation and humor, sweet and stinging poetry to make you think, make you feel, make you embrace your human self, your conscious thought, your own truth.

–Berkeley, CA
