Karol Nielsen’s Raising the Price of the House is a life story that moves from growing up as the daughter of a Vietnam veteran who served in combat with the 101st Airborne Division through working as a journalist covering post-dirty war Argentina on the verge of a coup, the intifada and Gulf War in Israel, the peak of violent crime in New York City, and other beats. Along the way, she falls in and out of love, begins to teach creative writing, and ultimately becomes a poet and memoirist—forever embracing possibility.
Karol Nielsen is the author of the memoirs Walking A&P (Mascot Books, 2018) and Black Elephants (Bison Books, 2011)—shortlisted for the 2012 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing in nonfiction. Excerpts were honored as notable essays in The Best American Essays 2010 and 2005. Her poetry chapbooks include Small Life (2022), Vietnam Made Me Who I Am (2020), and This Woman I Thought I’d Be (2012)—all from Finishing Line Press. Her full-length poetry collection was shortlisted for the 2021 Terry J. Cox Poetry Award and was selected as a finalist for the 2007 Colorado Prize for Poetry. One of her poems was a finalist for the 2021 Ruth Stone Poetry Prize.
