the thing about this anne carson new yorker poem that everyone complained about is that in her book its between two very experimental pages and within a section of far more experimental poems

completely decontextualized, i see how it can come off as an overly self-interested 1/

“I do not want to be a person.
I want to be unbearable.”

Nobel Prize Winner, Anne Carson ✨

I just taught "Kinds of Water" in my memoir class as an example of the haibun, but what has always struck me as Anne Carson's most important scholarly statement is her translation of Sappho, and her feminist refusal to fill the gaps of the original papyrus, language men imagined

Anne Carson. “You could whisper down a well. You could write a letter and keep it in a drawer. You could inscribe a curse on a ribbon of lead and bury it in the ground to lie unread for thousands of years. The point is not to find a reader, the point is the telling itself.”

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

Anne Carson forever. 🖤

When I look at the city of Paris I long to wrap my legs around it

Anne Carson.

[lana IV @cavemilk]

the amount of times carson comes up in my sessions of psychoanalysis is quite literally innumerable. these excerpts, in particular, form an axis around which most of my existential, subjective, and relational concerns revolve. such simple, dangerous brutality. sharp, economical

anne carson trains in boxing and would kick your ass

an Anne Carson I love

[Federico Perelmuter @cementeriocc]

when i met her in college anne carson told me that the catalogue of ships was her favorite part of the illiad and also gave me a spanish edition of nox because "they sent me like ten and i have no use for them"

If you want to be tossed by a wave of grief, try NOX. If you seek reinterpretation, check out Autobiography of Red. If you are on the hunt for a poet with 1,000 heads, “go with the” Float. If you have ever felt like you love what destroys you, pick up The Beauty of the Husband.

[Phil Klay @PhilKlay]

I always laugh when I think of Anne Carson’s introduction to her translation of Euripides’ Hekabe:

‘I have had for some years on my computer a file called "Unpleasantness of Euripides," in which I place at random thoughts on this subject…’

[troglodyte @saddy_issues]

when I was in college, my professor asked Anne Carson if she would give a lecture on her translation of Sappho to the entire freshman class, because they’d been assigned the book and she just replied “Everything I have to say is in the text” lmao congrats queen

[Dominic @le0nardpoetry]

Very fond of Carson in a post-Nobel interview in which the interviewer asks "Do you have anything to say about the role of poetry in this world" and she goes "Ummmm...no." while holding on a cap that says "Reality" in a vigorous Icelandic wind

[Albert Gil 📕 @LarryAlbertGil]

Per si no ho sabíeu, la guanyadora del Nobel de Literatura va escriure tot just fa un mes un article sobre un concert de la Rosalia.
