Connie Wanek . . . is superb, mature [and] a master of mood and language.St. Paul Pioneer PressNo poet I know, with the exception of Jane Kenyon, is as able to discover the magic and depth in ordinary, daytoday life and to artfully render that vision for the reader.Louis JenkinsConnie Waneks third book of poems, On Speaking Terms, is amusing, tender, and surprising. Herself a librarian in Duluth, Minnesota, Waneks poems emerge from everyday objectsScrabble, garlic, lipstick, hawkweedand the landscapes, waterscapes, and severe winters of the upper Midwest. Readers will shove off in canoes, buckle on skis, set fishing nets in Lake Superior, and spend time in the real world of the imagination. Lit by startling metaphors, Waneks work has been justly compared to Wislawa Szymborskas for its wry wit and spare Eastern European sensibility.. . . Afterwards it was Eve who madethe first snowman, her second sin, and she laughedas she rolled up the wet white carpetand lifted the wee head into place.And God causeth the sun to melt her labors,for He was a jealous God.Connie Wanek is the author of two books of poems. She lives in Duluth, Minnesota, where she is a public librarian and renovates old houses with her husband. Her poems have appeared in many journals, including The Atlantic Monthly and Poetry. In 2006 she was named a Witter Bynner Fellow in Poetry from the Library of Congress.
