I’m enamoured.
How would any novel hold up to such a degree of contractility?

idk from where I downloaded this book nor why, but I started reading it in the little breaks I have in work. idk man, perhaps bc I always read it when I'm tired but the words barely make sense, and not in a beautiful way

sriq's review against another edition
"An ideal wine grape/
is one that is easily crushed."
"But emphasis is too general a word/
for the dip and slant/
of mindfulness/
that occurs in cognition just/
there: singe it."
"You know Nahum Tate rewrote King Lear in 1681 and his improvements took the form (besides a happy ending) of reducing occurrences of the word if from 247 to 33."
"Once we found unborn young just beneath the savage heart. Ah said Nono apples in the dark. He sliced them out. I was jealous. Tenderness flooded his voice."

Unsurprisingly, a brilliant collection from Anne Carson. I love the troubling of genre through this text (evident in the title) as well as the collaborative nature, in conversation with fragments of Keats.

A first pass on an Anne Carson book is just to get acquainted with it. I fully intend on re-reading sometime soon.
