In her first collection in five years, Anne Carson explores this idea with  characteristic brilliance and a tantalizing range of reference, moving from Aphrodite  to Antonioni, Demosthenes to Annie Dillard, Telemachos to Trotsky, and writing in  forms as varied as opera libretto, screenplay, poem, oratorio, essay, shot list,  and rapture. As she makes her way through these forms she slowly dismantles them,  and in doing so seeks to move through the self, to its undoing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Cool, resolute, smart, and lovely....
