Publisher Marketing: Wrong Norma is Anne Carson’s first collection of original work since Float (2016). Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, many of these startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and Paris Review. As Carson writes: “Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantnamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget’s Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. That’s why I’ve called them ‘wrong.'”
