Sorry to bother you, but do you have any Anne Carson PDFs? I searched everywhere and couldn't find any D:

Hello! I made a google drive folder of Anne Carson works! These are the free ones available through my university library, so it’s mostly her more academic stuff like Eros the Bittersweet and Economy of the Unlost. There’s also some fun poetry and an interview in there that tracks VERY well with my impression of her lol

It’s editable by all, so if you happen to have Anne Carson PDFs to share, please do drop them in! :))

Don't sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be in peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Before flight, there's a free fall.

St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol

This may be the place I miss most in Bristol. My favourite church in England and I’m not alone, Elizabeth I was very keen too.
