Synopsis

This Side of Utopia straddles a fine line between how we think things should go and how they ultimately play out. With equal parts heartfelt

longing and comic absurdity, these poems move effortlessly from the mundane to the magical, toggling between lined and prose poems. With a voice

all his own, Thad DeVassie taps the haunting playfulness of Charles Simic and the otherworldly surprises of Russell Edson, showing this collection

to be one continuous balancing act. Utopia might be an untenable idea, but subtle comforts and a few silver linings still exist in the here and now.
