Grace and Poison

The Small Words in My Body and The Disorder of Love, in a single commemorative volume that includes a new essay from Connelly about her earlier poetry and her travels since those days.

Award-winning poet Karen Connelly's work is a travelogue of her journeys, physical, emotional and spiritual, through this life. Written while she was a teen, The Small Words in My Body (1990, Kalamalka Press) won the Pat Lowther Award for poetry, a precursor to Connelly's 1993 Governor General's Award for Touch the Dragon: A Thai Journal. The Disorder of Love (1997, Gutter Press) may be Connelly’s most personal work to date.
