Launched to prominence with her first collection of poems, Karen Solie continued her upward trajectory with "Modern and Normal." Now, with "Pigeon, " this singer of existential bewilderment takes another step forward.

As poet Michael Hofmann said, "Solie's work should be read wherever English is read."
