RaveThe Georgia StraightAnne Carson’s Nox is a work of painful beauty. One long accordion-folded page housed in a box, it resembles an art book, but the stunning complexity of the accumulative poetic text makes it much more than merely aesthetically pleasing ... Carson suggests it is \'always comforting to assume there is a secret behind what torments you\', and so she investigates a lexicography of words associated with grief that are set out like definitions, but push beyond literal meanings toward the creation of a more personal history \'told and retold.\'
