Harvard Book Store, together with the Woodberry Poetry Room and the Massachusetts Poetry Festival, is thrilled to welcome poet and translator ANNE CARSON for a reading and discussion of her latest work, Red Doc>.
From Anne Carson:
Some years ago I wrote a book about a boy named Geryon who was red and had wings and fell in love with Herakles. Recently I began to wonder what happened to them in later life. Red Doc> continues their adventures in a very different style and with changed names.
To live past the end of your myth is a perilous thing.
