UM: Poet

Poet, essayist and UM professor Anne Carson’s “Nox” is reviewed by the Buffalo News, described as “a box of material connected accordion-style (in one folded, ribbon-like page many yards long) about the death of her deeply troubled older brother Michael.” Among other things, the collection includes “meditations on Herodotus and history, and side reflections on eggs when memory suddenly retrieved one of her brother’s cigarettes snuffed out in a fried egg (shades of Hitchcock).” [Source]
