"They don’t even agree on how they met. In Currie’s version, he was working the book table at one of [Anne] Carson’s readings in Ann Arbor when, during the reception—while everyone else was enjoying the feast (it featured a shrimp volcano)—Carson brought him a plate of food. 'I have no memory of this,' Carson said. In her version, Currie was suddenly just hanging around. 'There you were, and then you were there more.'"

Today in The Poetry Section: Anne Carson.

Oh but hey there is a great little new Anne Carson poem today! An epithalamium, you might need to know, is a poem for a bride, sung before the wedding…. though there is this intriguing sentence on the Wikipedia: "Among the Romans a similar custom was in vogue, but the song was sung by girls only, after the marriage guests had gone, and it contained much more of what modern attitudes would identify as obscene." Oooh.
