A review by justfoxie
Glass and God by Anne Carson
4.0
I don't read much poetry, but a friend on instagram (@vanarchism) raved about this and so I grabbed a copy, precisely because I hadn't recently read much poetry.
The feature of the book is "The Glass Essay" with such a vivid portrayal of moorland and visceral connection to Wurthering Heights that I had to double check the author wasn't British (she's not, and Canada has moors too it seems).
My favourite though of this short collection is "The Fall of Rome: A Traveller's Guide" - dark and sensuous. Blending the modern with the ancient. I've never been to Rome and now am passionately hoping to go.
