WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY
FINALISTÂ FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY
Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and The Paris Review. As Carson writes: âWrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, GuantÃĄnamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget's Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. That's why I've called them âwrong.â"Â
Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living.
