Bag om Short Haul Engine

Winner of the 2002 Dorothy Livesay Award for Poetry (BC Book Prizes)Shortlisted for the 2002 Griffin Poetry PrizeThe 2002 Gerald Lampert Award for first bookLonglisted for the 2002 ReLit Awards.Karen Solie takes risks with perception and language, risks that pay off in such startling ways that it's hard to believe this is a first book. Short Haul Engine is one great twist of fate and fury after another. The writing is clear, striking and open to all sorts of possibilities. Even at their most playful, these poems dive much deeper than initially expected. There's a remarkably dark sense of humour at work here, but tempered with a haunting vulnerability that makes even the sharpest lines tremble. from "Signs Taken for Wonders"...Too delicate for these dog-days, small, clover-blonde, my sister sews indoors. I ask her to fashion me into something nice, ivory silk. I am a big girl, sunburnt skin like raw meat, sweating two pews in front of the Blessed Virgin...
