The Small Words in My Body and The Disorder of Love in a single 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 through this life. Written while she was a teen, The Small Words in My Body won the Pat Lowther Award for poetry, a precursor to Connelly’s 1993 Governor General’s Literary Award for Touch the Dragon: A Thai Journal. The Disorder of Love may be Connelly’s most personal work to date.
