| book description |

'Karen Solie should be read wherever English is spoken' â€“ Michael Hoffman, LRB Wellwater demonstrates a poet writing at the height of her powers. In poems that are supple, philosophical, bracingly honest and ribbed with erudition, Wellwater conducts a self-interrogative conversation with a culture in crisis and a natural world on the brink. Thresholds abound, â€˜doors between dimensionsâ€™ where past selves or lost loved ones speak to us again: â€˜death is not Saskatchewanâ€™ shrugs one encountered soul, â€˜we donâ€™t all know each other in this placeâ€™. Solie excels as a laureate of the transitory, of â€˜baffling flats... tiny museums of illegalitiesâ€™, motel rooms exuding a â€˜low hum of menaceâ€™. Her roving, syntactically elegant poems will often resolve in disarming directness, a precise admission of the emotional stakes. Karen Solie is increasingly recognised as one of the essential voices in world poetry. Wellwater will delight those already in the know, while new readers of her work will be astonished. 'Powerful, philosophical, intelligent . . . [Solie is] adept at pulling great wisdom from the ordinary' â€“ Griffin Prize judges Anne Carson, Kathleen Jamie and Carl Phillips
