#TheBeautyOfTheHusband ('La belleza del marido') by #AnneCarson

"Perfection rested on them for a moment like calm on a lake.
Pain rested.
Beauty does not rest".

Qué guilt attack comprobar que le han dado el Nobel a Carson sin haber colgado la review de su poemario más conocido (y del que he copiado en mi "cuaderno de inspiracion" tantos versos). La fecha de lectura ha sido implacable: junio de 2025. La gran cantidad de libros leídos sumada al escaso interés de mis reviews, me hace saltarme obras no siempre conocidas de géneros minoritarios, que merecen todos los focos. ¿Y qué hay más invisible que una mujer poeta?

En este bello, doliente e inolvidable 'The Beauty of the Husband', Carson nos narra con un estilo nada clásico y convencional (mezclando versos con diálogos, citas de autores y prosa poética) la espinosa y difícil relación con su marido infiel, mentiroso patológico y persona despreciable con 0 responsabilidad afectiva.

Enamorada de él desde su adolescencia, conmueve la honestidad de la autora al confesar el poder noqueante y anulador que el deseo + la belleza de su pareja, a pesar de no merecerlo, ejerció sobre ella a lo largo de los años.

Y aquí es donde mi voz termina y empieza la suya:

"Loyal to nothing
my husband. So why did I love him from early girlhood to late middle age
and the divorse decree came in tbe mail?
Beauty. No great secret. Not ashamed to say I love him for his beauty.
As I would again
if he came near. Beauty convinces. You know beauty makes sex possible".

*

"Perfection rested on them for a moment like calm on a lake.
Pain rested.
Beauty does not rest".

*

"Fate's my bait and bait's my fate.
On a June evening
Here''s my advice,
hold.
Hold beauty".

the feeling you get, when you own and had appreciated some of #AnneCarson books for a good while now and then the world suddenly decides too that she's worthy that award... #literature

Reaction to Carson’s Nobel has been unusually critical on X, generally on the basis that her work is too fey and elitist (Her translations of classics are silly, her poems are not relatable). A new generation expressing contempt for the longhairs. #poetry #nobelprize #annecarson

POEMS SATURDAY NIGHT AS AN ADULT By Anne Carson April 24, 2017 We really want them to like us. We want it to go well. We overdress. They are narrow people, art people, offhand, linens. It is early summer, first hot weekend. We meet on the street, jumble about with kisses and are we late? They had been late, we'd half-decided to leave, now oh well. That place across the street, ever tried it? Think we went there once, looks closed, says open, well. People coming out. O.K. Inside is dark, cool, oaken. Turns out they know the owner. He beams, ushers, we sit. And realize at once two things, first, the noise is unbearable, two, neither of us knows the other well enough to say bag it. Our hearts crumble. We order food by pointing and break into two yell factions, one each side of the table. He and she both look exhausted, from (I suppose) doing art all day and then the new baby. We eat intently, as if eating were conversation. We keep passing the bread. My fish comes unboned, I weep pretending allergies. Finally someone pays the bill and we escape to the street. For some reason I was expecting snow outside. There is none. We decide not to go for ice cream and part, a little more broken. Saturday night as an adult, so this is it. We thought we'd be Nick and Nora, not their blurred friends in greatcoats. We cover our ears inside our souls. But you can't stop it that way.

📚 Anne Carson’s literary genius lies in refusing boundaries. Poet, essayist, translator and classicist, she transforms ancient Greek texts into startlingly modern explorations of love, loss and desire.

Presseschau: »Sie übersetzt Texte von Anne Carson. Aber wie überträgt man Lyrik, die sich auf griechische Mythologie bezieht? Marie Luise Knott über die neue Literaturnobelpreisträgerin.«

Since sharing #AnneCarson poems is having a moment, here's a poem I published as part of a broadsides series about twenty years ago. Not aware that it was republished in any later venue or collection (let me know if so, it will go in the unlost bibliography) #NobelPrize

A bird flashed by as if mistaken then it
starts. We do not think speed of life.
We do not think why hate Jezebel? We
think who’s that throwing trees against
the house? Jezebel was a Phoenician.
Phoenician thunderstorms are dry &
frightening...

Der Literaturnobelpreis 2026 geht an die kanadische Schriftstellerin #AnneCarson. Die Schwedischen Akademie verkündete ihre Entscheidung am Donnerstagnachmittag. Geehrt wird Carson für ihr „kühnes und einfallsreiches Gesamtwerk“, das neue Formen für die Gegenwartsliteratur schafft. Gratulation!

Congratulations to fellow Canadian classicist Anne Carson, for the Nobel Prize in Literature! The Academy cites her “bold and inventive oeuvre” in “playful dialogue with the classical tradition.” Classics: not so dead after all? buff.ly/6HHyaST #UOttawa #NobelPrizeLiterature #Classics #AnneCarson

Nos félicitations à Anne Carson, classiciste canadienne, lauréate du prix Nobel de littérature! Son œuvre est saluée comme « audacieuse et inventive », en « dialogue enjoué avec la tradition classique ». Inutiles, les études anciennes, disait-on? #ÉtudesAnciennes #AnneCarson
