Winner of the Latner Writers Trust Poetry Prize'Introducing Karen Solie, I would adapt what Joseph Brodsky said some thirty years ago of the great Les Murray: ' . . . He is, quite simply, the one by whom the language lives'. . . And, yes, as we embark on the third millennium of our socalled Common Era, she is indeed the one by whom the language lives.' Michael Hofmann, London Review of BooksA sublime singer of existential bewilderment, Karen Solie is one of contemporary poetry's most direct and haunting voices. A poet of the inbetween placesthe purgatory of wayside motels and junkyards, the abandoned Calgary ski jump and the eternal noon of Walmarther poems stake out startlingly new territory and are songs for our emerging world, an age of uncertainty and melting icebergs.In Solie's new collection, The Road In Is Not the Same Road Out, she restlessly excavates our civilization, the moments of tough luck, casual violence, naked desire, and inchoate menace, pursuing 'Beauty and terror / in equal measure' and fixing on the 'Intrigue of a boardedup building. / We want to get in there and find out what's the matter with it.' Amplifying the elegant recklessness of her Griffin Poetry Prizewinning collection Pigeon, these poems bear an uncanny poetic intelligence and unflinching vision.
