The Border Surrounds Us
Karen Connelly

McClelland & Stewart, 2000

Karen Connelly?s fourth collection of poetry is remarkable in its energy, courage, and resounding depth. Connelly is a poet rare in her ability to address the political from within the realm of personal experience. Moving among the haunted refugees and political dissidents on the Thai-Burmese border, retelling the stories of Greek peasants, negotiating the borders between home and exile, Connelly brings to all her poetry a passion for being ...

The Disorder of Love

Gutter Press, 1997

The Disorder of Love
Karen Connelly is one of the few writers who I wait to read. Each new book of hers is filled with a beautiful instability of place and people. "The Disorder of Love" is a wonderfully exotic book filled with poems on the chaotic nature which exists in all our relationships and especially those which are romantic. Connelly is the youngest Canadian to hold the honour of the Governor Generals ...

this book shines
Touch The Dragon is Karen Connelly's journal during her one year exchange program in Thailand. I've devoured this book. Karen Connelly was 17 when she wrote the first draft of this book, yet the book is devoid any cynnism, written with humility and candour as she patiently learns how to get along in a different culture. I truly believe she has an ancient, wise soul. Her eyes are open and ...

The Lizard Cage

Karen Connelly

Spiegel & Grau, 2008

Compelling and memorable
This is one of the most compelling and haunting stories I've ever read, and I've read a LOT! I would say that this is in my top 20 all time favorites. If you have ever read Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, then you will understand what this book is about. No matter how desperate, how demeaning, how hopeless the situation, you are always free to choose your attitude. The author, Karen ...

ONE ROOM IN A CASTLE

KAREN CONNELLY

BLACK SWAN, 1997

A wonderful journey through a young woman's life.
This is a travel book in more ways than one. Connelly provides interesting stories of her travels in Spain, France, and Greece (and a little at-home time in Canada). She also opens up her own life and experiences, sharing her observations, insecurities, and pleasures, along with short fiction and poetry along the way. Connelly's approach to travel writing reminds me of my favorite Mary ...

The Blue Religion: New Stories about Cops, Criminals, and the Chase

6 reviews

Tantor Media, 2008

concentrate on the "world of the cop"
These entertaining nineteen tales focus on the police procedural theme. However, as Mr. Connolly explains in his introduction, for the most part the entries concentrate on the "world of the cop" as the stories "explore the burden of the badge" more so than investigative procedures. The contributions run the gamut with a strong historical by Polly Nelson to the return of Harry Bosch to a retired ...
