Karen Solie won the Canadian Griffin Prize with only her third
collection, Pigeon, in 2010, and has quickly established herself as
one of the most distinctive and unsettling voices in Canadian
poetry, a 'sublime singer of existential bewilderment'. Her poems
are X-rays of our delusions and mistaken perceptions, explorations
of violence, bad luck, fate, creeping catastrophe, love, desire,
and the eros of danger, constantly exposing the fragility of the
basis of trust on which modern humanity relies. They are
double-edged, tense and tender, an edgy blend of irony and guts, of
snarl and praise, of sharp intelligence and quizzical ambiguity.
