Creo que habría disfrutado más del libro (y de su edición) si yo no estuviera más interesada en otros aspectos de la escritura de Anne Carson.
Eso sí, el ensayo sobre la Decreación y los poemas teatralizados de Safo, Marguerite Porete y Simone Weil sobre Dios me parecen increíbles y de lo mejor que he leído de la autora.

read the first section of poetry and really loved it - then forgot about the rest bc of exams and now i have to return it to the library - tried to finish it in an afternoon but i think just wasn't in the right mindset and this really isn't the kind of book you can rush thru - i think to do that would be an insult to anne carson's craft - would love to return to it at a later point and give it the attention it deserves

Esoteric but beautiful, won’t be to everyone’s taste. Carson romanticizes Simone Weil’s eating disorder.
