Anne Carson
The Beauty Of The Husband, ,is an essay on Keatsâ€™s idea that beauty is truth, and is also the story of a marriage. It is told in 29 tangos. A tango (like a marriage) is something you have to dance to the end.,This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darkly funny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voiceâ€“29 â€œtangosâ€ of narrative verse that take us vividly through erotic, painful, and heartbreaking scenes from a long-time marriage that falls apart. Only award-winning poet Anne Carson could create a work that takes on the oldest of lyrical subjectsâ€“loveâ€“and make it this powerful, this fresh, this devastating.
