"It takes the wit of a Claire Kelly to coin the term 'un-talisman.' That's what a poem might be in the twenty-first century -- it has no magical powers, won't offer false hope, but when fashioned by the likes of Kelly, it offers a kind of eyes-wide-open solace: carry these un-talismans with you and watch the abject clutter of the 'post-pre-post-apocalyptic' era shine in their presence." -- Sue Sinclair, author of Heaven's Thieves "Claire Kelly's sophomore collection is millennial in the best possible way -- witty, transient, both ironically and sincerely nostalgic, and deeply wary of the…mehr

"It takes the wit of a Claire Kelly to coin the term 'un-talisman.' That's what a poem might be in the twenty-first century -- it has no magical powers, won't offer false hope, but when fashioned by the likes of Kelly, it offers a kind of eyes-wide-open solace: carry these un-talismans with you and watch the abject clutter of the 'post-pre-post-apocalyptic' era shine in their presence." -- Sue Sinclair, author of Heaven's Thieves "Claire Kelly's sophomore collection is millennial in the best possible way -- witty, transient, both ironically and sincerely nostalgic, and deeply wary of the status quo. With her masterful ear and keen eye for connections, Kelly blends vernaculars into a playful and singular voice. This is an excellent collection." -- Kayla Czaga, author of For Your Safety Please Hold On One Thing -- Then Another is a collection of poetry divided into three unique sections: "East" explores the constraints of living under the poverty line in a have-not province. "And" is a long poem about moving in a U-Haul across the prairies during an ice storm. "West" considers what it means to live in the have-est of have provinces and trying to acclimate to that alongside an ever-present drought. The poems are largely about contrast: east to west, flood to aridity, poverty to comfort, town to city. Throughout this accessible, smart, and funny collection, there are many descriptions of apocalyptic upheaval to reflect the feelings of disruption that accompany relocation. One Thing -- Then Another is Claire Kelly's second collection. She lives and writes in Edmonton on Treaty 6 territory.
