Glass, Irony and God by Anne Carson
Anne Carson's poetry - characterized by various reviewers as short talks, essays, or verse narratives - combines the confessional and the critical in a voice all her own. Known as a remarkable classicist, Anne Carson in Glass, Irony and God weaves contemporary and ancient poetic strands with stunning style. 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 Bronte 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.
Anne Carson was born in Canada. Her many books of poetry and translation include Antigonick, Autobiography of Red, The Beauty of the Husband, Glass, Irony and God, Norma Jeane Baker of Troy, Nox, and Wrong Norma (winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry).
