For all the nuance and involved detail that abounds, this book is a curiously meditative and even personal read, perhaps due to a prose style that is sometimes playful, sometimes contemplative, but seems as invested in the games of identity, authorship, and allusion as Carson herself. * Greece and Rome * This collection proposes and models new and innovative directions for classical reception studies, translation studies, philology, rhetorical studies, even while it opens up Carsons creative oeuvre to a larger audience (poets, visual artists, performance art, etc.). -- Anett K. Jessop, Assistant Professor of English and Creative Writing, University of Texas at Tyler, USA
