Wrong Norma
Anne Carsonβs first original work since Float (Knopf, 2016)
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST POETRY BOOK OF 2024
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY
Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and The Paris Review.
As Carson writes: Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, GuantΓ‘namo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget's Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. Thatβs why Iβve called them βwrong.β
