About this title: The poems in this volume blend the classical rigor and disciplined thought of scholarly work with the unpredictable turns and loops of postmodern life, setting Thucydides and Virginia Woolf in conversation, for instance, or putting Catullus in the driver's seat of a Red Cross ambulance.

"This is amazing, profound and memorable. I find myself emailing poems to friends. She is an alchemist of the most disparate elements, and although the result is mysterious and never finite, never known, it nevertheless hits you with tremendous power. Reading these poems is like watching a great sleight of hand magician--no matter how close you sit, you still can't tell how it's done."
"I really enjoyed the wide-ranging themes in this compilation. I especially was entertained by her unique stances on Emily Dickinson and Freud. Her short, personal poems were also very intriguing and humanistic in the sense that I believe many people would be able to make connections."
"I say read but read means still thinking and still to pick it back up. Carson provokes me. Her "Idea of a University" rejuvenated my teaching of first-year writing and, I swear, it will help me teach "Multicultural America" the way that my students need it."
