Critics Review
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 – Susan SontagAnne 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 – Guy DavenportAnne Carson is a new and brilliant talent making her English debut with this volume – Peter PorterShe is a rare talent - brilliant and full of wit, passionate and also deeply moving. Her long poem ‘The Glass Essay’ is oen of the best of our time – Michael Ondaatje
