Beskrivelse
Known as a remarkable classicist, Anne Carson weaves contemporary and ancient poetic strands with stunning style in Glass, Irony and God. This collection includes: «The Glass Essay,» a powerful poem about the end of a love affair, told in the context of Carson’s reading of the Brontë sisters; «Book of Isaiah,» a poem evoking the deeply primitive feel of ancient Judaism; and «The Fall of Rome,» about her trip to «find» Rome and her struggle to overcome feelings of a terrible alienation there.
