Description

"Reinventing figures as diverse as Oedipus, Emily Dickinson, and Audubon, Carson sets up startling juxtapositions: Lazarus among video paraphernalia, Virginia Woolf and Thucydides discussing war, Edward Hopper paintings illuminated by St. Augustine. And in a final essay, Carson meditates on the recent death of her mother. Revelling in unexpectedness and aware that 'the fact of the mater for humans is imperfection" (she) shows us a fiercely individual poet at her best" 176p.
