Early life and education

[edit]

Anne Carson was born in Toronto on June 21, 1950.[1]Her father was a banker and she grew up in a number of small Canadian towns.[2]In high school, a Latin instructor introduced Carson to the world and language of Ancient Greece and tutored her privately.[3]Enrolling atSt. Michael's Collegeat theUniversity of Toronto,she left twice—at the end of her first and second years. Carson, disconcerted by curricular constraints (particularly by a required course onMilton), retired to the world of graphic arts for a short time.[3]She did eventually return to the University of Toronto where she completed herBachelor of Artsin 1974, herMaster of Artsin 1975, and herPh.D.in 1981.[4]She also spent a year studying Greek metrics and Greek textual criticism at theUniversity of St Andrews.[5]

Writing

[edit]

Trained as a classicist, and with an interest incomparative literature,anthropology,history, and the arts, Carson fuses ideas and themes from many fields in her writing. She frequently references, modernises, and translatesAncient GreekandLatin literature– writers such asAeschylus,Catullus,Euripides,Homer,Ibycus,Mimnermus,Sappho,Simonides,Sophocles,Stesichorus,andThucydides.She is also influenced by, and references more modern writers and thinkers, such asEmily Brontë,Paul Celan,Emily Dickinson,Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,Martin Heidegger,Friedrich Hölderlin,Franz Kafka,John Keats,Gertrude Stein,Simone Weil,andVirginia Woolf.Many of her books blend the forms of poetry, essay, prose, criticism, translation, dramatic dialogue, fiction, and non-fiction to varying degrees.

First editions of Carson's eighteen books of writings (as of 2021) have been published byAlfred A. Knopf,New Directions,and thePrinceton University Pressin the US, byBrick BooksandMcClelland & Stewartin Canada, and byBloodaxe Books,Jonathan Cape,Oberon Books,and Sylph Editions in the UK.

Works

[edit]

Eros the Bittersweet– Carson's first book of criticism, published in 1986 – examineserosas a simultaneous experience of pleasure and pain best exemplified by "glukupikron", a word ofSappho'screation and the "bittersweet" of the book's title.[6]It considers how triangulations of desire appear in the writings of Sappho,ancient Greek novelists,andPlato.[7]A reworking of her 1981 doctoral thesisOdi et Amo Ergo Sum( "I Hate and I Love, Therefore I Am" ),[8]Eros the Bittersweet"laid the groundwork for her subsequent publications, […] formulating the ideas on desire that would come to dominate her poetic output",[3]and establishing her "style of patterning her writings after classical Greek literature".[9]

Men in the Off Hours(2000) is a hybrid collection of short poems, verse essays,epitaphs,commemorative prose, interviews, scripts, and translations from ancient Greek and Latin (ofAlcman,Catullus,Sapphoand others).[9]The book broke with Carson's established pattern of writing long poems.[3]The pieces include diverse references to writers, thinkers, and artists, as well as to historical, biblical, and mythological figures, including:Anna Akhmatova,Antigone,Antonin Artaud,John James Audubon,Augustine,Bei Dao,Catherine Deneuve,Emily Dickinson,Tamiki Hara,Hokusai,Edward Hopper,Longinus (bothbiblicalandliterary),Thucydides,Leo Tolstoy,andVirginia Woolf.

Carson delivered a series of "short talks", or short-format poems on various subjects, at the address to theUniversity of TorontoPh.D. graduating class of 2012.[10]She also participated in theBush Theatre's projectSixty Six Booksin 2011, writing a piece titled "Jude: The Goat at Midnight" based on theEpistle of Judefrom theKing James Bible.[11][12]

Reception

[edit]

Carson's first book of poetry – 1984'sCanicula di Anna[13]– garnered her first literary prize: theQuarterly Review of LiteratureBetty Colladay Award.[14][15]Acclaim for her first book of essays,Eros the Bittersweet,grew in the fifteen years after it was published in 1986: the book "first stunned the classics community as a work of Greek scholarship; then it stunned the nonfiction community as an inspired return to the lyrically based essays once produced bySeneca,Montaigne,andEmerson;and then, and only then, deep into the 1990s, reissued as 'literature' and redesigned for an entirely new audience, it finally stunned the poets. "[16]By the turn of the millennium,Eros the Bittersweethad also entered into the popular consciousness, voted onto the 1999Modern LibraryReader's List for the 100 Best Nonfiction books of the 20th century,[17]and mentioned (along withAutobiography of Red) in a 2004 episode of the television seriesThe L Word.[18]

Early recognition for her work also came from theQuebec Writers' Federation Awards(known as "QSPELL" until 1998), which shortlisted Carson forShort Talksin 1993 before going on to award her the honour three times between 1996 and 2001 (forGlass, Irony, and God,Autobiography of Red,andThe Beauty of the Husband).[19]Carson's early publications saw her shortlisted for the 1994 Journey Prize for "Water Margins",[20]and brought her the 1996Lannan Literary Awardfor Poetry,[21]and the 1997Pushcart Prizefor her poem "Jaget".[22][15]In 1997, Carson was awarded aRockefeller Bellagio Center Fellowship,[23]followed by aGuggenheim Fellowshipfor Poetry in 1998,[24]and aMacArthur Fellowship(commonly known as the "Genius Grant" ) in 2000.[25]

TheNational Book Critics Circle Awardshortlisted Carson three times (forAutobiography of Redin 1998,Men in the Off Hoursin 2000, andNoxin 2010),[26][27][28]making her andAlice Munrothe first two non-Americans to be nominated after the Award went global in 1998.[9][29]She was also shortlisted for theForward Prizein 1998 forGlass and God,her first book of poetry published in the UK.[30]Shortlisted for theT. S. Eliot Prizefour times between 1999 and 2013, Carson won forThe Beauty of the Husbandin 2001 (her third consecutive nomination),[31]making her the first woman to be awarded this honour.[32]Carson was the first poet to be awarded theGriffin Poetry Prize(forMen in the Off Hoursin 2001),[33]and the first to win the prize for a second time (forRed Doc>in 2013).[34][35]She was also a judge for the 2010 Griffin Poetry Prize.[36]

In 2018, Carson was longlisted for the one-timeNew Academy Prize in Literature,established as an alternative to the postponed 2018 Nobel Prize.[39]In 2020, she was awarded thePrincess of Asturias Awardfor Literature, with the jury noting that she "has attained levels of intensity and intellectual standing that place her among the most outstanding of present-day writers".[40]In 2021, Carson won thePEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature,honouring a body of work marked by "enduring originality and consummate craftsmanship",[41]and received the 2020Governor General's Award for English-language poetryforNorma Jeane Baker of Troy,an award she was first shortlisted for in 2001 (forMen in the Off Hours).[42]Her 2024 book,Wrong Norma,was longlisted for theNational Book Award for Poetry.[43]

Carson has been the subject of twoedited volumes:Anne Carson: Ecstatic Lyre,edited byJoshua Marie Wilkinsonand published by theUniversity of Michigan Pressin 2015, which is dedicated to the breadth of her works;[44]andAnne Carson/ Antiquity(sic), edited by Laura Jansen and published byBloomsburyin 2021, which examines Carson's classicism as it emerges in her poetry, translations, essays, and visual artistry.[45]

Teaching

[edit]

Carson began her Classics teaching career at theUniversity of Calgaryin 1979, before completing her Ph.D. at theUniversity of Toronto.[3]In 1980, she joinedPrinceton University,where she taught as instructor, and later assistant professor.[59]She also taught at the92nd Street YinNew Yorkduring her time there as aRockefellerScholar in Residence (1986–1987).[60]Failing to make tenure,[61]Carson left Princeton in 1987 to teach classical languages and literature atEmory UniversityinAtlantafor a year, before moving toMontrealto joinMcGill Universityas Director of Graduate Studies in Classics.[9]

In the late 1990s, Carson's teaching career hit a hurdle when McGill cancelled all graduate courses in ancient Greek, closed its Classics Department, and moved all remaining Classics courses to its History Department.[3]While continuing to teach at McGill as associate professor, Carson dealt with this by spending half of each year as a guest lecturer at other institutions, including theUniversity of Michigan(Norman Freehling Visiting Professorship, 1999–2000),[62]theUniversity of California, Berkeley(Spring 2000), and theCalifornia College of Arts and CraftsinOakland(Spring 2001).[3]She was appointed John MacNaughton Professor of Classics at McGill in 2000.[63]

Carson moved toAnn Arborand the University of Michigan in 2003, where she served as Professor of Classical Studies, Comparative Literature, and English Language and Literature until 2009.[64]In 2004, Carson was in contention for theProfessor of Poetry Chairat theUniversity of Oxford,placing second behind the eventual appointmentChristopher Ricks,with around 30 nominations.[65]She was cited as a potential contender for the four-year position again in 2009.[66]

Carson joined theNew York UniversityCreative Writing Program as Distinguished Poet-in-Residence and Visiting Professor in 2009.[67]Together with her husband and collaborator Robert Currie, she teaches an annual class at NYU on the art of collaboration, called "Egocircus".[68]Carson was an Andrew D. White Professor-at-Large atCornell Universityfrom 2010 to 2016,[69]and the Mohr Visiting Poet atStanford University(Creative Writing Program) in 2013.[70]She joinedBard Collegeas Visiting Distinguished Writer-in-Residence in 2014, teaching classical studies and the written arts.[71]Carson has described her more diverse role in the latter part of her career as "a visiting [whatever]", and her decades spent teaching ancient Greek as "a total joy".[68]

Honours

[edit]

Carson was elected aRoyal Society of LiteratureInternational Writer in 2022.[72]In May 2023, she was announced as Honorary President of theClassical Association,2023–24.[73]She was awarded the international Vigdís Prize, an award conferred for outstanding contributions to world languages and cultures.[74]

Personal life

[edit]

Carson is known to be reticent about her private life, and discourages autobiographical readings of her writings.[75]Information about her in publications is often limited to the phrase: "Anne Carson was born in Canada and teaches ancient Greek for a living."[76]While not a confessional poet, her work is considered personal.[7]Carson has said that in her work, she uses her life democratically as just one set of facts among others in the world.[77]

Carson's first marriage, during which she used the surname Giacomelli, lasted eight years and ended in 1980.[3]This union, and its aftermath, has been claimed as a source for "Kinds of Water" (collected inPlainwater), and forThe Beauty of the Husband.[78]Carson has confirmed that her first husband took her notebooks when they divorced (as happens to the protagonist inThe Beauty of the Husband), though later returned them.[79]

Carson's father Robert hadAlzheimer's disease."The Glass Essay"(collected inGlass, Irony, and God), "Very Narrow" (collected inPlainwater), and "Father's Old Blue Cardigan" (collected inMen in the Off Hours) all deal with his mental and physical decline.

Carson's mother Margaret (1913–1997) died during the writing ofMen in the Off Hours.Carson closed the collection with the prose piece "Appendix to Ordinary Time", using crossed-out phrases from the diaries and manuscripts ofVirginia Woolfto craft an epitaph for her.[3]Red Doc>has been read as a second elegy for the death of her mother.[7]Carson has described her mother as the love of her life.[79][80]

Carson's brother Michael was arrested for drug dealing in 1978. Jumping bail, he fled Canada and she never saw him again.[79]Carson dealt with the disappearance of her brother from her life in "Water Margins: An Essay on Swimming by My Brother" (collected inPlainwater), which is written as a kind of memoir.[75]In 2000, he called her and they arranged to meet in Copenhagen where he lived, but he died before they could reconnect.[81]Nox,an epitaph Carson created for her brother in 2000 and published in 2010, has been described as her most explicitly personal work.[7]

Carson is married to the artist Robert Currie, whom she met inAnn Arborwhile teaching at theUniversity of Michigan.[68]She has described Currie as "my collaborator-husband person".[5]Projects they have worked on together include book designs and performances forNoxandAntigonick.Carson also refers to Currie as "the Randomizer" during their creative process.[82]

On April 19 2022, Carson and Currie were granted Icelandic citizenship.[83]

In an article in theLondon Review of Booksin August 2024, Carson revealed that she had been diagnosed withParkinson's disease.[84]
