Karen Solie

(Canada, 1966)
 

Karen Solie (Canada, 1966) has published three collections of poetry, which have all been received with great acclaim. She constantly exposes the fragility of the basis of trust on which modern humanity relies. Nonetheless, her poems definitely don’t leave us with a sense of someone who suffers from inner conflict. Their message is generally conveyed in a calm, parlando tone with a classical effect, which gives them the character of distanced reflections. Moreover, landscape claims an important role – scorned by the modern consumer, but meticulously and immersively described by Solie.
