Découvrez Cloud Physics, un recueil de poésie où Karen Enns explore les fins culturelles, écologiques et personnelles avec une précision surréaliste. Une œuvre primée, entre mélancolie et espoir, à la croisée de la musique et du langage.

In all these poems I’m partly somewhere else.With you, without you,walking toward you or away,but you are there, your small face watching from the shadow of a doorwayor a set of stairs, from behind a curtain or a table.Sometimes I see you at the piano.You stop playing, turn to me,and in that pause, tell me something necessary.   Poet Karen Enns takes the reader on a lyrical journey, wrapped in the vicissitudes of seasons and weather—while observing human and other-than-human lives. Enns invites us to peer and is concerned always with the locations and dislocations perspective implies and creates.

In Ordinary Hours, the follow-up to Karen Enns' Gerald Lampert Award-nominated first collection, That Other Beauty, we revisit Enns' rural Mennonite childhood, replete with the sensuousness of "diesel fuel" and "hot peaches." Enns also explores the Mennonite exodus from Russia, tracking its faint but unmistakable reverberations in the daily lives of its survivors and revealing the redemptive character of that dailiness. Reading an Enns poem feels effortless: her rhythms and phrasing are so minutely calibrated that the poem unfolds as if of its own accord.
