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. She finds an analog for the divine in a massive, new model tractor and an analogue for the malign in the face of the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez. Her poems are X-rays of delusions and mistaken perceptions, intellectual explorations of bad luck, creeping catastrophe, and the eros of danger come dressed to kill. Her ear is impeccable and her syntax the key to a rare, razor-sharp poetic intelligence.

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