Congratulations to Karen Solie, winner of this year's Governor General's Award for English-Language Poetry! Her winning book, Wellwater, was also recently awarded the Forward Prize, in a tie with Vidyan Ravinthiran. Here's one of my favourite poems from the collection.

Day 19 is Karen Solie’s latest collection, Wellwater. To be honest, I’m flummoxed that this stellar book of poetry wasn’t on the Griffin Poetry Prize list. Still shaking my head at its absence…

If you haven’t read it, just do it. Trust me on this one…

"The active truth of 'Wellwater' is palpable, if difficult to face. We’re fortunate to have a poet capable of singing it so clearly."

This book is transformative. (Karen Solie, Wellwater, Anansi 2025)
The cover of Karen Solie’s poetry collection Wellwater. Pale pink and spare with an image of a flowering plant and its roots in the centre. The title and the author’s name in a simple, all-caps black font. An excerpt from the middle of the poem “Holiday at the Wave Pool.”
