		The court found that although Connelly filed a timely claim asserting property damage and personal injuries as a result of the incident, it was insufficient to support a personal injury claim against the County because it failed to state the nature or extent of Connelly’s alleged injuries.
		Here, Connelly’s claim revealed that she was the injured or damaged party, the injury or damage occurred when a County vehicle ran a stop sign and hit her pickup truck, and Connelly claimed her injury or damage was caused by improper driving, failure to obey a stop sign and unsafe operation of the County vehicle.
		Having concluded Connelly’s claim was sufficient to apprise the County of her personal injury claim, we need not decide Connelly’s contention that her claim meets the pleading standard required of a civil complaint.

		Coleridge is a Karen man who works for the Karen National Union army, a shrinking, battered guerilla force which has been fighting against successive Burmese governments for almost 50 years.
		He talked often about the difficult history of the Karen people, with a kind of deep exhaustion and formality I was beginning to recognize among all the people actively involved in Burma’s civil war.
		I’ve heard that Karen dictionaries can be dangerous, and sometimes don’t tell you if they’re married or not." The young nurses and medics laughed, clapping and shaking their heads.

		Connelly's poetic prose and her meticulous details - from the hundreds of lizards Teza eats raw to his prized contraband of random bits of newspaper that his cheroots come wrapped in - transform his cage into a world that's impossible not to become intimate with.

	Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Karen Connelly's Grace and Poison collects The Small Words in My Body (1990) and The Disorder of Love (1997) in a welcome reprinting of both separately unavailable works.
		Connelly's opening essay sheds light on the poetry that follows by constructing a helpful trajectory of her journeys, including leaving home at age fifteen, studying in Thailand at age 17, and traveling later to Europe, travels which delineated and became the language of her poetics.
		Connelly’s fluidity of line reinvigorates the concept of "free verse," and the confluence of tangible and surreal images infuse the stanzas with the varied intonation of a musical score.

	Nan A. Talese \| Online Catalog \| The Lizard Cage by Karen Connelly
		Beautifully written and taking us into an exotic land, Karen Connelly’s debut novel The Lizard Cage is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit.
		“Connelly’s writing is fluid and well-paced, and her fictive prison world, set in the actual political hellhole that is present-day Burma, is as affecting as any UN statistical report about the conditions of life in that ruined country.”
		"Karen Connelly not only illuminates a society, but shows us, through the beauty, energy and humour of her language and imagery, how this strange place touched and changed her, allowing her to receive and understand a common humanity."
