The scholar is transparent and accountable, the poet inward and
errant: anyone who reads Anne Carson has to suspend many such
separations of power. The first monographic study of her work to
date, Anne Carson: The Glass Essayist makes the case for the
acclaimed poet, classicist, and translator as a remarkable
experimental scholar and reader, who rehearses scholarly methods
while slipping their constraints of form and emotion. Carson's
attention to sources-ancient and modern, textual or visual-is one
of few constants across almost four decades of her published
writing, whose uncertain claims on discipline and genre are claimed
here as a certain interpretive style. The book follows Carson's
readings through variations in form-from early academic prose and
poem-essays to creative adaptations and works for performance-to
come to grips with what Coles calls Carson's transparency: not her
easiness or literalism, but a taste for the exposure of her
presence, process, and intent. Carson's portraits of working
perform to readers even where she fantasizes her own erasure; where
chance, poetic economy, impersonation, and imitation ride the line
of anonymity. Coles situates Carson in a vibrant contemporary
conversation around the essay, scholar-poets, and post-critical
form, where creation transacts critique, and where roles and
prerogatives are reset. Reading Carson as a reader, the book
argues, is the most pressing way of reading her now.
