In her introduction The New Yorker poetry editor Alice Quinn describes poet and classicist Anne Carson as a meteor whose every new book is a heavenly event. If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, Carson's apt translation of the iconic Greek poet, which she discusses and reads from in this May, 2000 presentation by the Poetry Society of America Recorded during a slide show and lecture at the Culture Project in New York, Carson is as entertaining as she is insightful about the life and work of a poet whose work has lasted for millennia while her life remains a tantalizing mystery for the ages.
