“Wellwater is complex and unexpected: the book shows Karen Solie doing what she does best—the good-weird juxtapositions, the toss-up between reality and language. Solie is a maker of many-angled poetry; from prairie grasslands to urban rentals, the author is an interloper in this world, giving poetic worth and weight to words both accurate and imaginative.”
