That Other Beauty

Attention to beauty in everyday life is central to this debut poetry collection. Karen Enns reflects on her childhood on a farm and the Mennonite exodus from Russia, bringing to life a tapestry of characters including immigrants and local workers. Through vivid imagery, she explores themes of solitude, exile, and the interplay of darkness and light. Enns draws inspiration from Bach and the natural world, inviting readers to appreciate the profound beauty found in both the mundane and the extraordinary moments of existence.
