註釋In her first collection in five years, Anne Carson contemplates "decreation"-an activity described by Simone Weil as "undoing the creature in us"-an undoing of self. But how can we undo self without moving "through" self, to the very inside of its definition? Where else can we start?
Anne Carson's "Decreation" starts with form-the undoing of form. Form is various here: opera libretto, screenplay, poem, oratorio, essay, shot list, rapture. The undoing is tender, but tenderness can change everything, or so the author appears to believe.
