Description

Anne Carson’ s first full-length publication in Britain, Glass and God introduces an assured and challenging new voice: vivid, laconic, precise. Her ‘Short Talks’ are about everything from Sylvia Plath to Franz Kafka, from waterproofing to walking backwards; the brilliant long poem ‘The Glass Essay’ deals with the end of a contemporary love affair, but is haunted by the Brontë sisters. Blending the modern and the classical, Anne Carson writes with an intensity and an integrity that is transfiguring.

About The Author

Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living. Her awards and honours include the Lannan Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Griffin Trust Award for Excellence in Poetry, the T.S. Eliot Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the MacArthur ‘Genius’ Award.

Anne Carson is a daring, learned, unsettling writer. Both in poetry and in prose (and the nimble mixtures of both that are characteristic of her work) she offers and upholds exceptional pleasures and standards. A unique figure in the North American literary landscape and not nearly as well known as she should be
Other text

Anne Carson's poems are like notes made in their pristine urgency, as fresh and bright as a series of sudden remarks… A real poet whose poems are unfailingly memorable… [whose] powers of invention are apparently infinite
