It is told in 29 tangos. A tango (like a marriage) is something you have to dance to the end. <p/>This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darkly funny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voice-29 "tangos" 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 subjects-love-and make it this powerful, this fresh, this devastating.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An exquisite meditation on love and loss that reads with the emotional depth-and with the ongoing resonance-of a great novel."-<i>Elle <p/></i>"[An] eerie, elliptical, very beautiful elegy for a failed marriage.... Her verse pierces the mind with a laserlike light."-<i>The New York Times <p/></i>"Her best book.... Her poetry's form and sensibility are quite unlike anything else."-<i>The Globe & Mail </i>(Toronto)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ANNE CARSON was born in Canada and has been a professor of Classics for over thirty years.
