"Anne Carson is my pick for greatest living writer. She has spiny brilliance, profound Classical knowledge, and an astonishing ability to slide between genres. Autobiography of Red is both a deeply affecting book-length poem about Geryon, a demon in love with Herakles. It is also hilarious."

""But when justice is done the world drops away." "Reality is a sound, you have to tune in to it not just keep yelling." "There is no person without a world." "And now time is rushing towards them where they stand side by side with arms touching, immortality on their faces, night at their back." "
