Serge ♆ Neptune and 5 other people liked Mark Ward's review of Masters:
Masters by Mark Ward
"Yes, it's my book! Here's some nice things people have said about it:

“These stunningly executed poems achieve what the best ekphrastic work does – they open windows into worlds both strange and familiar, vividly evoked in Ward’s pitch-perfect poems." Read more of this review »

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.”
Anne Carson (Translator), Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides

Anne Carson
“Words bounce. Words, if you let them, will do what they want to do and what they have to do.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson
“What would it be like
to live in a library
of melted books.

With sentences streaming over the floor
and all the punctuation
settled to the bottom as a residue.

It would be confusing.
Unforgivable.
A great adventure.”
Anne Carson

Anne Carson
“Desire is no light thing.”
Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red

Anne Carson
“Eros is an issue of boundaries. He exists because certain boundaries do. In the interval between reach and grasp, between glance and counterglance, between ‘I love you’ and ‘I love you too,’ the absent presence of desire comes alive. But the boundaries of time and glance and I love you are only aftershocks of the main, inevitable boundary that creates Eros: the boundary of flesh and self between you and me. And it is only, suddenly, at the moment when I would dissolve that boundary, I realize I never can.”
Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet
