Carson has published translations of the ancient Greek poets Sappho,
Simonides, Aiskhylos, Sophokles and Euripides. Antigonick is her first
attempt at making translation into a combined visual and textual
experience. Sophokles' luminous and disturbing tragedy is here given an
entirely fresh language and presentation. Thoroughly delightful.*Carson will be signing at Square Books' Cafe
