Anmeldelser
«I have never read a poet where there was such a sense that the material was so unruly it might overwhelm its creator. It is this that makes Carson exciting... She writes with spendthrift ease.»
Kate Kellaway, Observer
«To engage so originally and compellingly with a story first told more than 3,000 years ago, is astonishing: her ambition is one thing, the fact that it is so completely achieved is, frankly, something else… Carson is, simply, one of the very best.»
Sarah Crown, Guardian
«[Carson’s] work over the last three decades has the flux of tidal waters. Words deceptively simple become in context an exhilarating tsunami of images with a shift in typographical structure.»
Hayden Murphy, Herald
«‘A true poet, in the sense that she makes the unfamiliar seem real, and the real seem fabulous.’»
Richard Eyre, Start the Week
«The narrative poem plays delightfully with form, at times approaching stream of consciousness in the vivid interplay of memory and dialogue.»
