an actual genius. reading her words feels like you're living inside her mind, and it is a sanctuary. you can tell how much research goes into her work and consuming her poetry is brilliant because of it.

Another beautiful piece by Anne Carson! The first piece in this collection, “The Glass Essay” is insightful and poignant. She mixes verse with beautiful metaphors and breathtaking control of the narrative.

The first poem-essay was damn near perfect, but none of the following resonated as fully for me.

i kept discovering underlined bits & starred parts that totally synced up with my taste. maybe all carsonites think alike? it took me a while to realize I've already read most of this one. either i have a touch of dementia or reading anne carson always feels like the first time. let's go with the latter for my peace of mind. i wish this collection resonated with me more. the glass essay and the essay on the gender of sound made it all worth it in the end though.
