About This Book
Karen Solie's T.S. Eliot Prize-winning collection moves between the prairies of Saskatchewan, the cityscapes of London and New York, and the deep time of geological change. The poems are precise, witty, and searching—concerned with labour, technology, and the strange persistence of care.
