The new work by the author of The Autobiograpy of Red, one of my favorite books, is at the top of my wishlist. And when I say book, I mean BOOK. In an interview with Michael Silverblatt on Bookworm, Carson jokes about how you’re not going to see this work on Kindle. A stitched together collection of poetic fragments, photographs, and translations of an elegy by Latin poet Catallus –the hybrid piece is a result of the poet/translator’s griefwork over the death of a brother who disappeared for twenty-two years, only to turn up dead soon before Carson was due to visit him in Copenhagen. Such inspiration to turn life’s dark corridors into a work of art.
