ANNE M. CARSON
The Detective’s Chair: Prose Poems about Fictional Detectives
Do you love detective fiction or intriguing character studies? Have you ever thought about that creative spark that solves the puzzle? Drawing inspiration from a range of her favourite fictional detectives, Anne M. Carson has created a wonderful, whimsical collection of 32 short prose poems which suggests a creative correlation between problem solving and the crafting of a poem.
In a playful homage to these colourful fictional sleuths, Carson focuses in on the nature of creativity itself, acknowledging that it’s often in these moments of reflective ‘sitting,’ away from the bustle of clue collecting and intentional effort, that the pieces of the ‘solution’ – be it crime or poem – might start coming together. Each poem is beautifully illustrated with delicate line drawings by René Carrasco, bringing to life the different space of reflective possibility for that detective.
Available as Digital book (downloadable PDF) or Softcover book
