He is, quite simply, the one by whom the language lives'. . . And, yes, as we embark on the third millennium of our so-called Common Era, she is indeed the one by whom the language lives.\" --Michael Hofmann, \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Solie's new collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Road In Is Not the Same Road Out\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 boarded-up building. \/ We want to get in there and find out what's the matter with it.\" Amplifying the elegant recklessness of her Griffin Poetry Prize-winning collection \u003ci\u003ePigeon\u003c\/i\u003e, these poems bear an uncanny poetic intelligence and unflinching vision.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Solie\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
