Chapbooks housed in clear plastic slipcase, faint rubbing along spine crease of chapbooks else fine. All titles accounted for: 23 are listed on contents page and 23 are present in the set. The publication blurb states there are 22 chapbooks. The likely reason for the discrepancy is because one of the titles listed on contents page is Performance Notes which, while it is presented in chapbook form is strictly informational and not a part of the 'creative' set.

Anne Carson continuously dazzles us with her inventiveness and the way her work changes our perspectives. With Float, she surpasses her own bar. In individual chapbooks that can be read in any order, she conjures a mix of voices, time periods, and structures to explore what makes people, memories, and stories "maddeningly attractive" when observed in liminal space. One can begin with Carson puzzling through Proust on a frozen Icelandic plain; in the art-saturated enclaves of downtown New York City; atop Mount Olympus as Zeus ponders his afterlife. There is a three-woman chorus of Gertrude Steins embodying an essay about "falling." And an investigation of monogamy and marriage as Carson anticipates the perfect egg her husband is cooking for breakfast. Exquisite, heartbreaking, disarmingly funny, Float illuminates the uncanny magic that comes with letting go of boundaries. It is Carson's most intellectually electrifying and emotionally engaging book to date.
