The Road In Is Not the Same Road Out

A sublime singer of existential bewilderment, Karen Solie is one of contemporary poetry's most direct and haunting voices. A poet of the in-between places-the purgatory of wayside motels and junkyards, the abandoned Calgary ski jump and the eternal noon of Walmart-her poems stake out startlingly new territory and are songs for our emerging world, an age of uncertainty and melting icebergs.
