from Vintage
Price: $11.16

"Autobiography of Red" by Ann Carson is worth the read simply because of its unique genre: a novel framed within a poem. The layers begin as the reader is drawn into the world of Geryon, a young red winged creature, trying to figure out his place in the world and in love. Autobiography of Red" is a... more info

from New Directions Publishing Corporation
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
While experimental verse often risks feeling contrived or convoluted, Anne Carson's ambitious voice builds on accomplishments of previous works such as "The Life of Towns"-always feeling genuine and purposeful, yielding moments of intense irony, rhythm, and blade-sharp line breaks facilitated by... more info

| | 9. |  | Men in the Off Hours
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
I understand the attraction to Anne Carson. I like experimental poetry, too. I like scholarship. But this book is pointless. The poems are so terrible that by the time I got to the essay at the end about hot & cold symbolism for the writers of antiquity I was so upset with the book that I just... more info

| | 10. |  | Short Talks
from Brick Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This wonderful book is also in print as a section of Carson's _Plainwater_collection, which is much more broadly available. If you're nuts about her work, you might want to have it anyway. And you should at least want it, because she's great, as much as the word "great' has meaning. She has Ann... more info
