Carson, Anne
Men in the Off Hours. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2000.
ISBN: 978-0-375-40803-8
Notes from Source: With her characteristically witty challenge to some long-held literary oppositions — prose vs. poetry, cinema vs. print, classic vs. modern, epic vs. lyric — Men in the Off Hours builds upon Anne Carson’s “monstrously unconventional” (Time Out) reputation, bringing us a brilliant new collection of verse and prose inhabited by presences as diverse as Oedipus, Emily Dickinson, Audubon, St. Augustine, and Catherine Deneuve., A major new book from one of the most affecting, unafraid, and immediate poets writing today.
