SYNOPSIS
The poetry and prose collected in Plainwater are a testament to the extraordinary imagination of Anne Carson, a writer described by Michael Ondaatje as "the most exciting poet writing in English today." Succinct and astonishingly beautiful, these pieces stretch the boundaries of language and literary form, while juxtaposing classical and modern traditions.
Carson envisions a present-day interview with a seventh-century BC poet, and offers miniature lectures on topics as varied as orchids and Ovid. She imagines the muse of a fifteenth-century painter attending a phenomenology conference in Italy. She constructs verbal photographs of a series of mysterious towns, and takes us on a pilgrimage in pursuit of the elusive and intimate anthropology of water. Blending the rhythm and vivid metaphor of poetry with the discursive nature of the essay, the writings in Plainwater dazzle us with their invention and enlighten us with their erudition.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anne Carson
Anne Carson (21 de junho de 1950) é uma poeta, ensaísta, tradutora e professora de clássicos canadiana. Carson viveu em Montreal vários anos e lecionou na Universidade McGill, na Universidade de Michigan e na Universidade de Princeton, de 1980 a 1987. Foi bolsista do Guggenheim em 1998 e, em 2000, recebeu uma bolsa da MacArthur. Também ganhou um prémio literário Lannan.Em 1986, Carson publicou o seu primeiro livro, Eros the Bittersweet. Nomeado um dos 100 melhores livros de não-ficção de todos os tempos pela Biblioteca Moderna, o livro traça o conceito de "eros" na Grécia antiga através das suas representações na poesia da época. Carson considera seriamente como os desejos triangulares e miméticos foram representados na poesia de Safo, bem como a relação de Eros com a solidão. Famosamente, Carson analisa o Fragmento 31 de Safo como representando "eros como adiado, desafiado, obstruído, com fome, organizado em torno de uma ausência radiante - para representar eros como falta".
