Sophokles; Carson, Anne (translator); Stone, Bianca (contributor); Currie, Robert (contributor)
Antigonick. New York: New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2012.
Notes from Source: With text blocks hand-inked on the page by Anne Carson and her collaborator Robert Currie, Antigonick features translucent vellum pages with stunning drawings by Bianca Stone that overlay the text. Anne Carson has published translations of the ancient Greek poets Sappho, Simonides, Aiskhylos, Sophokles and Euripides. Antigonick is her first foray into making translation a combined visual and textual experience. Sophokles’s luminous and disturbing tragedy is here given an entirely fresh language and presentation. It is thoroughly delightful and visually stunning.

Further Notes:
A non-illustrated version of Antigonick was published in 2015 by New Directions. This version begins with a short essay from Anne Carson, titled “the task of the translator of antigone.” This introductory text is not to be confused with “A Note from the Translator,” which is featured in the 2012 publications.
