&ldquo;Carson&rsquo;s 22 individual chapbooks [are] like snowflakes of literary litheness.&rdquo; &mdash;Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair Hot Type &#160; &ldquo;Captivating.&#160;A stroke of genius. The most stunning example [of Carson&rsquo;s work] to date. She designs her books to make you rethink entirely the way you read . . . Float invites you to interact with it, to pull it apart and put it back together . . . The way Carson plans the physical reading experience feels like a magnification of what it&rsquo;s like to read a really good poem: not straightforwardly but absorbing the sense of it,&#160;sounds and senses playing off one another . . . The poems themselves are designed as intricately as the box itself . . . Carson&rsquo;s work is a question of occupying untranslatable and unpredictable silences, and Float is about finding something whole in fragments. She is a strange and immersive poet. It&rsquo;s only after reading Float in its entirety that you realise its full effect.&rdquo; &mdash;Charlotte Runcie, The Daily Telegraph (UK) &#160;&ldquo;If you&rsquo;re ready to restart your capacity for cosmic delight, vernacular hijinks, and intellectual pizzazz, let inimitable poet, translator, and classicist Anne Carson be your guide in her latest long-form work.&rdquo; &mdash;ELLE&ldquo;A motley crew steers&#160;Float: Husserl, Picasso, Hegel, a chorus of Gertrude Steins, and Carson&rsquo;s noble uncle Harry, not to mention the Greeks: late-arriving Odysseus, howling Cassandra, and a rather tetchy Zeus. What else would you expect from [this] renowned classicist, translator, and polymath? Whether one skims or dives, there are treasures to be found. Two playlets plumb family tragedy; [a piece] about the death of Carson&rsquo;s brother&rsquo;s wife is a heartbreaker; [two others] are goofy fun. The whole coheres, and the tether is Carson herself&mdash;her interests, erudition, and autobiography; the way she thinks, and writes, and occasionally, rhymes.&rdquo; &mdash;Christine Smallwood,&#160;Harper&rsquo;s &ldquo;Mesmerizing&#160;. . . Float should be read by anyone who has any&#160;interest in translation, art, beauty, meaning and the possibilities of a poetic work. Carson, renowned poet, translator and classicist, will never disappoint when it comes to her unique combination of tradition and experimentation . . . In this offering, more than any other [work]&#160;to date, we see her true depth&#160;as both an inventive thinker and deeply gifted lyrical poet.&#160;Float&#160;touches every register with clarity and wit, as the chapbooks undulate between the serious and silly, the intellectual and the sentimental . . . Carson, once again, has given us something that can only come from her radiant creativity and illustrious intellect.&#160;Float&#160;is a book of books; no matter how you read them, or in what order, you will be left hypnotized by its daring scope and peerless creativity.&rdquo; &mdash;Nicodemus Nicoludis, Spectrum Culture &#160; &ldquo;Float exemplifies Carson&rsquo;s masterly use of the creative potential of disorder&#160;. . . [It] does more than bounce, it buoys up as uninhibited, cosmic &lsquo;flotage.&rsquo; It requires &lsquo;unpacking&rsquo; because it&#160;comes in a clear&#160;box containing separate chapbooks of poetry, essays, performance-based texts, and other literary miscellany . . . [But]&#160;Float&#160;is not a mere victim of entropy&mdash;it unequivocally embraces it. It contemplates everyone and everything, from Brigitte Bardot to Hegel, from identity to commodification. There is a beauty to its lack of structure: the reader is meant to shuffle, rearrange, and fall apart at his or her own peril . . . It&rsquo;s this beautiful lyricism, Carson has remained true to her sensibilities and artistry . . . Throw the booklets in the air. Regard the flotage.&rdquo; &mdash;Taylor Kang, The Culture Trip&ldquo;Carson expands her reputation as a genre-defying innovator with her latest book-as-art-object. This is a freewheeling collection, a wildly open text at one moment deeply philosophical, at the next self-effacing and humorous . . . Each section of these 23 individual chapbooks exhibits its own merits, illuminating some new facet of Carson&rsquo;s intellect or digging deeper furrows into her scholarly pursuits . . . Carson&rsquo;s whirlwinds of thought, simultaneously swelling and coalescing, disrupt traditional framings, upend clich&eacute;, and demand a new kind of candor.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (boxed review) &#160; &ldquo;Stunning&mdash;a marriage of penetrating intellect, inspiring language and the art of the book. Anne Carson seems to know everything. In Float, she offers new poetry and prose presented in separately bound chapters, serendipitously arranged in an attractive acetate case. In chapter after chapter Carson surprises. A visit to the library inside Carson&rsquo;s head is always worth standing in line for . . . In beautiful packaging and with a subtle balance of erudition, humor, criticism and lyricism, Float is a jaw-dropping achievement.&rdquo; &mdash;Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness* &ldquo;A radiant delight . . . a rich gathering of works joining past to present and ancient to modern. Carson is by temperament both experimental poet and traditional classical scholar&mdash;heavy on linguistic parsing and close reading on the one hand, and lightning bursts of metaphorical insight on the other. This collection, innovatively presented as a series of chapbooks that can be read sequentially or not as the mood strikes, highlights both interests. These chapbooks variously gather lectures, poems, notes, performance pieces, and miscellanea . . . The poems inhabit the country that lies somewhere between late modernism and postmodernism, often reminiscent of W.S. Merwin and, if he were more inclined to lyric, the late Guy Davenport. The prose pieces touch on themes of classical literature and history . . . Readers of whatever description will enjoy watching Carson's nimble mind at play&mdash;and play is just the word, for Carson caresses words, winds them up and watches them go.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
