{"product_id":"short-haul-engine","title":"Short Haul Engine","description":"SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2002 GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE\nWINNER OF THE 2002 DOROTHY LIVESAY POETRY AWARD\nKaren Solie takes risks with perception and language, risks that pay off in such startling ways that it's hard to believe this is a first book.\nShort Haul Engine is one great twist of fate and fury after another. The writing is clear, striking and open to all sorts of possibilities. Even at their most playful, these poems dive much deeper than initially expected. There's a remarkably dark sense of humour at work here, but tempered with a haunting vulnerability that makes even the sharpest lines tremble.\n\"Too delicate for these dog-days, small, clover-blonde, my sister sews indoors. I ask her to fashion me into something nice, ivory silk. I am a big girl, sunburnt skin like raw meat, sweating two pews in front of the Blessed Virgin\"―from \"Signs Taken for Wonders\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1894078179\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1894078179.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Solie, Karen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
