Fiction Poetry
Anne Carson's haunting and beautiful Nox is her first book
of poetry in five years—a unique, illustrated,
accordion-fold-out "book in a box." Nox is an epitaph in the
form of a book, a facsimile of a handmade book Anne Carson
wrote and created after the death of her brother. The poem
describes coming to terms with his loss through the lens of
her translation of Poem 101 by Catullus "for his brother who
died in the Troad." Nox is a work of poetry, but arrives as
a fascinating and unique physical object. Carson pasted old
letters, family photos, collages and sketches on pages. The
poems, typed on a computer, were added to this illustrated
"book" creating a visual and reading experience so amazing
as to open up our concept of poetry. 50 color and
black-and-white prints
