Canadian-born poet Anne Carson will read selections from her critically acclaimed, yet unusual works, including Glass, Irony and God; Plainwater: Essays and Poetry; Autobiography of Red; The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos; and Decreation: Poetry, Essays, Opera. Carson's erudition is always infused with feeling and often with humor. Her work is highly intimate while simultaneously referring to other literature and art. Daphne Merkin in the New York Times Book Review calls Carson's writing 'unclassifiable, even by today's motley, genre-bending standards.' Carson's honors and awards include the Lannan Award, the Griffin Trust Award for Excellence in Poetry, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the MacArthur 'Genius' Award. She currently teaches at New York University.
