Plainwater: Essays and Poetry
Plainwater: Essays and Poetry by Anne Carson, the first Vintage Canada edition and first printing published in 2000. The copyright page carries the complete number line from 10 through 1. This is the English-language trade paperback, ISBN 978-0-676-97274-0, issued without a dust jacket.
First published in 1995, Plainwater is a genre-crossing collection that brings poetry together with essays, miniature lectures, imagined encounters and lyrical travel writing. Carson draws on subjects ranging from ancient poets and Ovid to art, desire, mysterious towns and the idea of water, combining classical learning with distinctly modern experimentation.
Carson received the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of an inventive body of work that creates new literary forms through dialogue with the classical tradition. Plainwater is an important early example of the boundary-crossing approach to poetry and prose for which she is known.
Very Good condition, with light shelf and handling wear, a few faint surface marks and minor edge wear to the white card covers. The spine appears straight, and the photographed copyright page is clean and clearly legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. The book will be packed carefully for shipment.
