Fall, 2010
An exquisitely musical and meditative new voice in Canadian poetry.
In her debut collection, Karen Enns’ focus is the beauty present to us in almost every moment, however mundane or apparently lost. Her argument is that the act of attention itself is the most fundamental of these beauties.
That Other Beauty ranges across memories of a farm childhood, and further back, to the Mennonite exodus from Russia. We encounter immigrants, furnace repairmen and grocers, dead cats, a raven lifting into “the clear, bright density of rain.” Enns meditates on Bach, on solitude, and on exile both accidental and imposed, weaving darkness and light with great fidelity and authority.
Karen Enns is a Canadian poet based in Victoria, British Columbia. She is most noted for her 2017 collection Cloud Physics, which won the Raymond Souster Award for poetry in 2018. Enns published her debut poetry collection That Other Beauty in 2010, and was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Award in 2011. Wikipedia
