This collection includes: "The Glass Essay," a powerful poem about the end of a love affair, told in the context of Carson's reading of the Bronte sisters; "Book of Isaiah," a poem evoking the deeply primitive feel of ancient Judaism; and "The Fall of Rome," about her trip to "find" Rome and her struggle to overcome feelings of a terrible alienation there. 145018 1 10 1995 Glass, Irony and God total:463|5:217|4:166|3:68|2:11|1:1| 463 1976 633 42 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Jan 24 12:33:30 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 12:59:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Feb 02 16:47:21 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 23:12:59 -0800 2008
