Responses & Reviews

Review by Renia Tyminski
“Ann Carson’s insights are those of a decades-long feminist, a poet and prose writer who once again, in Another Open Door, reminds us of how powerfully nature brings us to our senses and helps us become whole again. It’s also a practical reflection on selfhood in a body that has adapted to the stages of life as a keenly observant and engaged Canadian. Ultimately, this varied collection points the way to what it sounds and looks like when we take charge of our own stories, while celebrating the various webs of relationship that make us aware of place and purpose.”

Cover Review by Olena Nitefor
“Such a beautiful cover – a sculpture that invites into a mysterious depth of its own opening and it’s own voluptuously bulbous body. The inward curl of one of the “flaps” at the opening is both welcoming inward and “sheltering” of that which has entered inside. For me, a rich in metaphor and deep in feeling “pear.” The subtle shade that the pear is casting onto its “space” on the cover situates this metaphorical richness into the reality of now. WOW dear Ann. I needed to understand and feel the richness of this cover as I sit here in cold and grey Berlin having read news from the two wars that I am following.”
