Circle Tour
Circle Tour, Eva Tihanyi’s ninth poetry collection, seeks and celebrates beauty in the face of despondency. Its three sections—Outer Circle, Inner Circle, Centre—draw us in as we move from the “outside” world of politics, culture and art to the “inside” world of relationships with family, friends and lovers to the “core” world of the self.

Eva Tihanyi
Circle Tour is Eva Tihanyi’s ninth book of poetry. Her last book, The Largeness of Rescue, won a Fred Cogswell Award for Excellence in Poetry.
She has also published a short story collection, Truth and Other Fictions, which The Globe and Mail hailed as “an impressive and promising debut…a wonderfully written collection of takes on the elusiveness of truth.”
When Lightning Strikes the River
In 2018 Tihanyi and composer / musician Carlie Howell received a Canada Council Explore and Create grant for their collaboration When Lightning Strikes the River, a song cycle of 14 new works. Eva wrote the lyrics and Carlie composed the music. The result (performed by Carlie and a group of musicians) premiered at the Tranzac Club in Toronto on April 28, 2019.
