Anne Michaels calls Eva Tihanyi’s poetry “moving and powerful.” Susan Musgrave calls it “very accomplished, beautifully crafted.” Now, almost 30 years after her first book was published in 1983 comes Tihanyi’s latest collection, Flying Under Water: Poems New and Selected, which brings together the best of her previous six volumes plus a group of new poems.

The book is edited by Patricia Keeney and introduced by J.S. Porter, who writes: “Tihanyi gives you desire in all its permutations, love in all its dimensions, in all its colours from green to black; she gives you lust and longing, departures, arrivals, and new beginnings. She investigates the possibility and limitations, of truth. She re-choreographs worn moves in the ever-new dance of language.”

 

Eva Tihanyi was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1956, and came to Canada when she was six. She has taught at Niagara College since 1989 and lives in Toronto and Port Dalhousie (St. Catharines, Ontario). Flying Underwater: Poems New and Selected is her seventh book of poetry; she has also published a short story collection, Truth and Other Fictions (Inanna, 2009). Tihanyi, who has been writing poetry since the age of fourteen, long ago took to heart Adrienne Rich’s words, “I will submit to whatever poetry is,” and continues to view the world through that lens.
